More Lambs

Who doesn’t want to see more lamb photos? With California on a coronavirus lockdown this is the only way I can share the farm with you. And I’ve been so lax on my blog posts for quite awhile I feel like now is a good time to catch up.

This is Evelyn and her single lamb, #72. The ewe below is Hilda with twins. These are the last two ewes to lamb until two more surprised me last night and this morning.

These ewes are only barely a year old themselves and they usually have just a single lamb. Hilda had bagged up quite awhile ago but Evelyn only started developing an udder a few days ago. The two that lambed last night and this morning barely had any udder development, but I saw that it was starting. They should have enough milk for their single lambs.

Most of the sheep are on the pasture now, a perfect setting for lamb photos.

I am putting these photos and more info on my website and will continue to update photos as I can get them.

It was a warm sunny day yesterday, unlike the previous week. The sheep enjoyed the fresh pasture. That is Addy, also a yearling, with her 1/4 Jacob twins. Addy is a BFL-cross bred to a Jacob ram.

We have more excitement to come with the goats kidding. They are due at the middle and end of April.

Springtime flowers! Wisteria over the back gate.
