We crossed the half way mark today with two sets of twins arriving within an hour of each other bringing the lamb count to 22 (11 ewes and 11 rams). I'm so grateful for Holly being here to help. While she worked with Pheonix and her twin ewe lambs, I assisted Stella and her ewe and ram lamb (above). This is Stella's first time. We had to help with delivering the ewe lambs who was huge – 12 lbs!
From the looks of things at the moment, I'll have a busy night in the barn. Ursa is pawing the straw and grunting. She's enormous with lambs and for her sake I hope she does deliver. With the tropical weather we're having (above 80 today and 50's at night) there's no need for sweaters or hot boxes for the lambs. Will keep you posted, so stay tuned.
