Baymule's 3rd Lambing

This morning I fed the sheep their coffee can of feed. I was surprised to see Domino shove her way up to the feed tub to get her share. Only a month old and she jumped right in amongst the ewes! Yup, she's a keeper! LOL

Domino is getting big and look at her hog that food! It's no wonder lol Bay, that would make a nice POW, just saying… ;)
 
We kept our grand daughters over the weekend. It was cold, but sunny and beautiful. We went outside to play. First stop was the Sheep lot. The 16 month old had been looking out the windows yelling BAA!BAA! She loves the Sheep.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the Sheep, I am unafraid because Mamaw is with me.....

Then they got to hold a Lamb and pet it.

It just doesn’t get any better than this.
 
When I have expecting ewes, I check them first thing when I get up. Lily is the last to Lamb. I had already done morning chores and was looking out the bathroom window and noticed she was restless. She dug nests, laid down, then was up again.

This is the first time we got to watch a birth.

After repeated down-push-up she had the Lamb half hanging out, and gave a final push.

Lily licked and baa’d softly to her Lamb. He was on his feet and nursing within 8 minutes.

Trip kept a close eye on things.
