Bottle Lamb

The ewe with the butt rug finally gave birth to her twins.  A boy and a girl.

We relieved her of her rug butt but sadly that didn't stop her from rejecting the ram lamb.

The poor little guy.  So he became my first bottle lamb.

It so cute having a little lamb living in the house.

New Lamb

We have a new lamb on the ground and it wasn't from the ewe we were waiting on.  Instead, it was from this big momma!

But, surprisingly, for her size, she only threw the one lamb.  A ewe lamb.

But she sure is cute.

Lamb Watch

We've got an ewe in the lambing pen.

She's the one with the rug on her butt.  The day before yesterday, her lambs were kicking wildly.  You could visually see them leaping all over the place in there.  Today, we found some blood discharge in the sheep pen.  After close inspection of all my ewes, this one was the only one with a swollen vulva.  So we kept her in the lambing pen today.  We went back every hour to check in on her.  One visit found some white discharge coming from her vulva.

Stuck to the underside of her tail.

I'm thinking we should have new lambs on the ground within 24 hours.
