It was feeding time and we noticed one ewe just pretending to eat. She would go over to the feed bowl, put her nose in it, then turn around in circles. She was making an unusual sound, over and over again. We soon found out why, she was talking to the lamb who was about to come out. She talked him right out into this world...and is he adorable. We call him "Numero Uno."
Chris and Breeze, our llamas, checked him out and claimed him as one of their own charges, to guard and protect. Mom and Baby are happy and content, as a lake effect blizzard rages outside.
Many more births to come, but this shepherd slept well with a baby monitor over her head. Here's hoping all my lambing goes this well...
