Thoroughly enjoying lambing Its like live Christmas presents, I have yet to be present for a birth Its like they wait till I am not there....Lambs up dry and have nursed---ewes cleaned The ewe looks at me--"all done no big deal" It which I think "OK let's see what you had (ram or ewe)"
Third ewe presented me with twins,,,no wait there is a lamb in the hay storage part of the barn too Yarrow had triplets,,,two boys and a ewe lamb that wandered off.......all good sized,,,,,all the same size...out of Tinker belle's ram Butte,,,,,,,I have a theme going this year.....lambs are brown (all sugar lipped Ag gene) with wild white markings on their heads- like you drizzled white paint at random--..Yarrow rejected "Rosebud" I tried to get Rosebud to smell like her brothers,,,no way Yarrow attacked the 'stranger' That's OK Rosebud was away from the group exploring too long.......Yarrow is a good mom, so Rosebud will be our bottle lamb.....in the laundry room in a pet carrier and took to a bottle right a way.....cries every couple hours for more.. I have two fresh goats and have plenty of milk
Rosebud Look at her face!
Rosebud Look at her face!
3 ewes...7 lambs.....2 rams 5 ewes! Tinkerbelle, Pal, Maybeline, Bella to lamb very very soon

Congratulations on Yarrow's triplets Jerry! Sorry you have a bottle lamb, but at least you're equipped for it and I bet your granddaughter Nessie is going to enjoy her. :-)
Yarrow's Rosebud looks just like most of Yarrow's lambs! Some have been yuglet sokket though. Too bad she liked the boys better...
