Development

Well, I'm no expert but I do believe we have some new development.  As in udder development.  We study our girls daily and maybe that might be slightly obsessive but we noticed the beginnings of what we believe are the beginnings of growing udders.


Cocoa is our biggest girl and is not only wide but has a big belly however her udder is still underdeveloped compared to others so she may not be expecting for a couple of months yet.  But at her size, it's possible she may throw us twins.


The above is Ugly Betty's small udder.  She is the ram's favourite ewe but we don't expect her to deliver for a couple months as well.


Dark Carmella, surprisingly, looks to be the furthest along.  I'm suspecting another month with her and more than likely going by her size, she is carrying just the single lamb.


Lastly, our smallest ewe has udder development which is udderly disappointing.  She has looked pregnant now for several months so if she does deliver she could possibly have some major problems.  If she delivers multiples, it could be fatal.  We will continue to watch udder growth and hopefully we have a lamb crop after all this year and that all are healthy happy little bouncing lambs.
