Here are Lizzie and Liam, born Thursday morning at 6 AM. Found them at the east end of the barn by the open door. Scooped them up in a towel and mom followed me to the lambing pen, running circles around me, yelling like crazy. What was I doing with h er babies???????? She had already cleaned them off but I rubbed them some with a towel (never want to clean them too much) and got their cords dipped. Matt held mom while I nursed out some colostrum. Gave it to the little ones and got their sweaters on. Left Matt in charge and rushed off to work feeling great. There's nothing for a shephered like a successful lambing, especially when there is a ewe lamb or two as a result!
