Lambslide!

Aberdeen & lambs
Busy day. More lambs to deliver before I could put away my delivery kit. Aberdeen birthed a pair of ram lambs mid afternoon. We're certainly off to a lively start!

Aberdeen is one stompy little mother, defiantly stamping her hoof at anyone who gets close to her pen. She had to put up with me while I administered iodine to umbilical cords, stripped the waxy plugs from her teats to open up the plumbing. Then I weighed her boys (8 lb. 9 oz and 9 lbs. 10 oz.) using a hand-held fishing scale with a special lamb sling attached.

Crackerjack is sizing up his new charges. He'll inspect each and every new lamb in the barn.

Lamb hugging is my favorite job.

Okay, so how about names. I think we'll work our way alphabetically through the names of fonts/typefaces (this year's theme). 

For Tupelo's lambs: Arial (ewe) and Bodoni (ram – "Bodo" for short)

For Aberdeen's rams: Cooper and Charlemagne.

Holly just left to grab a pizza. I'm famished, haven't eaten anything but a cookie today, running on adrenaline. Will crash after dinner and hopefully the rest of the moms can wait til sun up (so nice to have lambs in daylight).
