Text Box: Lambing Season

Text Box: The first lamb of the season, Wooly Ben's ram lamb, a dorset x merino cross.  Born 5/26/05.  Photo on 6/1/05. Blossom and her ewe lamb, Little Rose.  Little Rose is a cheviot x merino cross.  Born 5/27/05.  Photo on 6/1/05. The back end of Toni Dorset with her twin ram lambs, 50/50 dorset x merino crosses.  Born 5/29/05.  Photo on 6/1/05. I actually saw Bugger's ewe lamb born!  I've seen many freshly born lambs but never seen the actual birth.  So naturally, the lamb I saw born is named Sawborn.  Sawborn is 75% merino and 25% cormo.  Born 6/9/05.  Photo on 6/9/05.         Harriett and her twin ram lambs, 50/50 cheviot x merino crosses.  Born 6/7/05.  Photo on 6/9/05.    In 2007 I had two sets of triplets! So for the first time, I had an Orphan Pen. The triplets all stayed with their mama for the first two or three days, and then I took the biggest and moved him to the Orphan Pen. In the Orphan Pen they eat from the Bucket Mama (a bucket with nipples), sleep in the hoop house, and get plenty of fresh air and sunshine.
