March Came in Like a Lamb

March!IMG_9432Western redbud near the house. I wish it would bloom all spring.DSC_6278These are Mae's lambs.15051, 15050Sisters from last year, Jade and Jillian, waiting to go to the pasture. Jade wasn't bred but Jillian is pregnant.DSC_6284Sending the pregnant ewes out in back. These are yesterday's lambs:IMG_9480Loretta and a single ram, standing. The one on the ground is the lamb that Raquel rejected a couple of days ago. I successfully "slime grafted" her to Loretta. More about that in a future post.Alexandria and lambsLater in the day Alexandria lambed with little tiny lambs, both under 5 pounds, but vigorous and healthy.16034 and CascadeCascade lambed with a single ram last night. That lamb is to me an average size but weights only one pound more than Alexandria's combined.IMG_9524Here is the status so far. Color coding for girl/boy. BT means that the lambs have had BOSE (selenium and Vitamin E supplement) injections and their tails have been banded. Sires are Ringo, Rotor, Nash, and Faulkner. Only 26 ewes left to lamb!
