Lambing Season

Lambing season is always an interesting time around our house.

Three years ago we lambed out 75 ewes with a new born, Wyatt

This year we lambed about 10

A huge difference but a lot easier

We are focusing more not on quality not quantity.

Plus all of our ewes are ones that Wyatt can enjoy and play with. 

This was Sally the first ewe we had to lamb.

She is a retired 4-H show ewe

who was loved dearly by her former owner...and now by her little owner

Sally had twins...one ram one ewe out of our Suffolk ram from Sponaugle.

Lambs are funny to watch as they don't quite now how to control their limbs

And they cry like newborn babies

plus they follow you around like puppies

Sometimes you end up with bum lambs

these are lambs that you feed on a bottle because their mom won't or can't

In the picture above is SALT

She is a twin out of our Southdown ewe

Here is Salt again...she and Wyatt are big buddies

They play in the yard together

run through the barn

and snuggle with each other

both are discovering the world together
