Here they are! Enjoying the beautiful day!!













Then Saturday afternoon more babies arrived!!

Finally another lamb!

These ewes all look like they could pop any minute. So I wasn't surprised when there was a new lamb in one of the shelters. I was very surprised that it was Hosta who had her! Just one single lamb. Last year was Hosta's first year and she had twins. And they only weighed about 3 pounds each! This year's lamb weighs more than the two of them combined! 8 pounds 7 ounces.

A beautiful black spotted ewe lamb, Dixie.

Lambing has begun!

I know I have been MIA for a while and I will try to get you all caught up, but I kept telling myself that once lambing started I would post more to the blog!

The first lambs were born this evening about 6:00 to Evra, a black badgarface Icelandic ewe.


 This was taken just seconds after Evra gave birth to the second lamb.
Evra still cleaning the two ram lambs off. A black and a black badgarface like his mom (my favorite color!)












There are still 14 ewes and 5 does to lamb and kid! Going to be busy around here!!
