More Lambing

I'm going to backtrack chronologically. I thought I had some other photos from lambing but I must be sleep deprived because I forgot that they were still on my phone. As I said in one of the other blog posts, the first lamb was born the day after I got back from Texas. But here is what greeted me in the morning when I went to the barn.Cayenne fighting                  This is Cayenne...Serrano fighting                  ...and this is Serrano. Yearling rams trying to figure out who is boss. I think most of the blood came from a fifth horn that was behind Serrano's lower horn--that horn is gone now.  I'm not sure who won. Neither of them seemed to be feeling very good for a day or two.

This is Jane's lamb that was born on February 22, the first day of lambing.
