We finally started lambing last week. It’s been a leisurely pace so far but a quick scan of bellies and udders today leads me to believe life is going to get much more hectic very soon…

Eight ewes have lambed so far with a total of 15 lambs. Mostly Churros so far - I think the Jacob ewes are holding out for a better offer. I’ve posted some of the lamb photos below. For now they’re just cute lambs. We’ll be evaluating them for breed quality characteristics when they’re a bit older…

More lambs coming soon (very soon!)…
Beautiful lambs!Our Jacobs must think alike. All of a sudden,end of February & early March, bam - lambs aplenty in spite of the fact I observed the ewes engaging in behavior with the rams last fall that said we should have had lambs by the end of January.
ReplyDeleteIsn't this a wonderful time of the year? New lambs, and spring around the bend.
Thanks Kathy,
ReplyDeleteYour lambs are beautiful too! Especially Cindy :)
We finally had our first Jacob lamb this morning - yeah! A first time mom who had a nice single ram lamb. Took right to being a momma and is mothering him nicely. Good girl!
Several more Jacob girls are looking ready so I suspect we'll have more by tonight. It's a lovely sunny day here and there's nothing better then lambing WITH sunshine.
Cute babies! I didn't realize you were blogging. I'll link you to my blog. Happy Lambing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda! Looks like you got a beautiful, colorful batch of lambs this year. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I can really call myself a blogger since I'm not very good about updating it. But my intentions are good if that counts for anything :)
As of this morning we're finished with lambing - yeah! I have a bunch more lamb photos to post - just need to carve out some time to get them saved and uploaded. Maybe today...
Once that's done all that's left to do is wait for the sun to come out and the mud to dry up so the lambs can go out and play. Can't wait!
