Lambing Has Begun, an Update 

We had 1 lamb born March the 9th during the kidding of the does. The rest of the ewes have started, and we have had 5 sets of twins. The first Jacobs sheep twins had on stillborn lamb, but all the rest have done well. We have 1 more ewe due in a few days then none for about a week. We have 20 more ewes to lamb which will occur throughout April. So far, the ewes are doing well with the exception of the Texel ewe who had no milk. Her lamb is being raised on a bottle and is with 6 kids. We removed one triplet from each of the 6 sets of triplets and are bottle feeding them as well. We are really enjoying lambing and kidding season and seeing the flock expand and realize our dream of building our sheep and goat farm.
Thanks for joining us!
