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.                  This is Cayenne...                  ...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.

                The last post  ended with a storm. But the weather changed to cold but sunny. Time to get the sheep out in the field.               Estelle and lambs.

                  Ht Lips and her triplets plus an extra.

                   Back in the barn lambing has continued at quite a clip. This is Fandango and her BFL-cross lamb.                    Vixen's twins.

                                             There are plenty of lambs to cuddle.

                        Here is the lambing count a week ago.                  My bike set up on a trainer in the house. The only use it is getting right now is as a sock drying rack right.

Father and Son

Whenever I am doing something with the ewes in the back the rams get fired up.                This is Serrano and his dad, Buster.                  One of these days, Serrano may come out the boss.                    But not yet.           Buster is still boss.

This is not a dead sheep.                  This is Gotham sleeping on a foggy morning. When the rams lie with their heads propped up by their horns they do look dead.
