So far there have been two sets of twins and another single birth over December and January. We had some extremely cold weather over the last month and we were fortunate that the new barn and set up kept everyone safe from the frigid temps. Of course we had to have a baby born during that time. The single birth lamb was able to be dried pretty quickly after birth and her mother took to caring for it pretty quickly.
Say Hello to the new members of the flock.
The new barn has been completed and my is it pretty. We are going to have some really happy ewes this winter when it is time for them to lamb. Right now we are in the process of breeding. This year we are hoping for more success in the lambing. We have lots to do before December and January to get ready for the babies.
So… our little lady participated in her first 4-H lamb show. She showed a beautiful ewe lamb and an another wether lamb. She just turned 3 so this was the first year she was able to participate. Our ewe lamb won the Grand Champion for the commercial ewe class and she also won grand champion in the Cloverbud class. The wether won Reserve Grand Champion in the Cloverbud class.
