Baymule's 3rd Lambing

[baymule]

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.

The little one wanted back IN!

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.

And a fine dinner he will be!

I currently have a Dinner in the flock that is ready to go.....and naturally he is the sweetest of them all! I think he knows what his name means and he is buttering me up......but he will still get buttered up his self.....

Some of my lambs

Did his name start with a "B"? I've sold a lot of goats to a guy who is ALWAYS late - sometimes never shows up at all and NEVER calls to say he's running late or not coming. I don't answer his calls anymore. I'd give goats away before I'd sell him anything else...

 

[baymule]

No, his name starts with a M. GASP! You mean there's TWO of them out there????

 

[frustratedearthmother]

They're brothers... Twins probably!

They almost look like baby dairy calfs black and white like that. Congrats
