Lambing Scenes

Handsome little guys. |
One of our oldest ewes, Alice, had twins, Izod
and Ithaca, this year. In previous years she has had 3 sets of
triplets and 3 sets of twins. One year she took a rest and only
produced one large lamb for a grand total of 18 over the years. She
is a loving mother and teaches her lambs the facts of surviving in the
world.

Bottle Babies
Incense looks on as the other lambs frolic after eating their grain portion. |
Vistitors Michael and Lauri are happy to bottle feed Irene, one of Faith's triplet lambs. |
This is Incense who had a difficult start. She was only 5 pounds at
birth and not as lively as some of the other newborns. She also had
some breathing problems. Her tail became infected when we put the
rubber ring on it to dock it. She recovered after intense medical
treatment as you can see.

Tom pauses a moment to smile for the camera while he cleans out the
lamb grain creep. Irene would like to help.

Romneys
Faith had her triplets without any assistance. Her white ram, Ian, who
weighed 8 pounds at birth, was her favorite. Irene, at 7 pounds and
Incense, at 5 pounds, became bottle babies.
|
Faith and Ian about a week old.

Danielle produced only one large ewe lamb, Ivory.
|
Emma was first to give birth. Her lambs are Ira, a white ram and Ida,
a black ewe. Hershey was her ewe lamb from last year who was not bred.
Hershey takes her job as big sister very seriously. She looks after
and teaches her younger siblings.
