44 had her lambs today. She was nice enough to wait until daytime. Usually they deliver in the middle of the night.
Ewe and lambs are doing well.
The smaller one with the white streak on its head is a female. She wasn't positioned correctly during delivery. Her legs were folded back instead of sticking forward so she got stuck. Lisa reached into the uterus and lined her up and she popped right out.
It cleared the way for her brother with the solid black head. He came out on his own. Good job Lisa for saving the day! That is the second time 44 has done that.
Meet Dudley the ram lamb.
Meet Penny the ewe lamb.
It was nice of 44 to go into labor during the noon time cud chew. Everybody was in the barn for the festivities. Remember Lulu, last year's bottle lamb? This is her all grown up. The green things on her shoulder are burdocks.
After the excitement everyone went back out for afternoon grazing.
Lisa went to Flemingsburg to pick up the mutton. This was one of Edith's retired ewes. The turkey is just a turkey.
Luna is looking good.
Paige, Satin and Piper waiting at the gate.
They like it when I take pictures. They always ham it up for the camera.
Luna was racing around me in circles.
Satin and Luna tangle every now and then. They look all soft and fluffy but they have sharp edges.
Wow, good job saving the lamb and 44 Lisa! Cute little lambies!
