Are you ready for lambing photos? I have a lot.

The first lambs were due February 28 and I had been expecting some for at least a few days before that. The first ewe to lamb was Addy on February 27. Addy is a BFL (Bluefaced Leicester) x Jacob ewe and she was bred to a BFL. So these lambs are 3/4 BFL.

The first lamb was born at 6:45 a.m.

The second was coming about 45 minutes after the first.

Time to get serious about getting that lamb out.

About 65 minutes after the first one was born.

Surprise! Two black and one white lamb. The last was about eighty minutes after the first. The color was a surprise, but not the triplets. Ultrasound showed three lambs.

This is Sandie. Her lambs were born just before midnight on the the 27th.

The second came about 10 minutes after the first.

That lamb was on its feet in five minutes.

Explorer lamb. This is why it’s good to have them in a secure area.

This is Cashew the next afternoon.

The goat observer made me think of a dinosaur looming over the sheep…

…especially here.

I had a couple of Zoom meetings that day. There was a weaving guild meeting in the morning and a follow up workshop in the afternoon. This is a view of my space. I was on Zoom on the Mac, had the iPad showing the view from the barn camera, the PC that has the weaving software, and my e-spinner so I could work on that while listening to the speaker. It was from the iPad that I knew I had to leave early and go to the barn for those last lambs.
