Spring Lambing Has Begun

The first of our spring lambs from the new flock lambed this morning.  I arrived for morning chores and found them already dry and nursing from mamma.  It took some doing (and realizing I have to rearrange pens) but we got mom and babes out of the pregnancy pen and into the maternity pen where the jug is located.  Not that I think this mother needed bonding with her lambs but it also helps the lambs to identify their mother's.

The new lambs have been named.  Both were males and keeping with naming all 2014 ram lambs starting with the letter B, we have named these two Barnaby and Baxter.
