Caden this morning, and her daughter Ebony this afternoon.
In between watching Caden and her lambs, letting Amelia and her lambs out to graze for the first time and figuring out how we will do shopping and chores, we look down into the main shelter and hubby declares, " what the heck? Theres' a lamb down there! ". So closer inspection reveals it is Ebony, a two year old black ewe - daughter of Caden and grand daughter of Amelia.
Sure enough she had a HST ( head,socks,tail ) black ram lamb. New to the experience she was doing fine until our presence caught the attention of the rest of the flock who immediately set upon us in hope of grain, and proceeded to inspect Ebony's lamb, throwing her off her game just a bit.
In no time we had the matter settled. Ebony is currently in her private jug with both a ram and ewe lamb. Both are black HSTs and seem to be doing well. Mom is getting the hang of it.
In the meanwhile Caden is resting and the lambs are cuddled up to each other napping.
And it's only 1:50 p.m. Still plenty of time left for a few more....wish me energy, and easy lambings with no loss and no mishap.
Todays' total so far is 5 - 1 ewe, 4 rams, 1 white 4 HST black.
Total to date - 8
Thank you Lord!
Regards,
Kathryn
