While I was giving bottles to the Big Black Twins I heard a little cry. Okay, I thought, I'll be there in a minute. Can't you suck any faster??? I got my Nutri Drench bottle and started creeping slowly back to the far end of the barn. I found the black ewe in the trench behind the stanchions. Phew! They are not chilled, they are standing, looking good, then another pair of legs behind her! Triplets! I have never had triplet lambs, not ever! What a thrill. All three looking good, one a little small. Two rams and a ewe. oh, and another ewe is in labor! What a morning....and I thought I was almost done. Well, maybe I am, and what a way to end my lambing season. So far - 22 live lambs. Not bad considering many minus 20 nights and a full time job. Oh, my poor job. Another day of calling in "sheep." I hope they still love me after this.
