Here are Goodness and Mercy saying welcome to the new twins in the flock. Since their mother is Domina the only thing to name them is Caesar and Octavia....how perfect! G and M are growing so fast it's time to wrestle their sweaters off.
I am still nervous about the nursing since Domina is flighty and doesn't like them near her teats. Matt is off on a job interview and might have to hold her again when he gets home so I can nurse out some more colostrum for them. The first 24 hours are so important. Up at 3 am for a barn check, then up for the birth at 5...I will be dragging a bit today. The temperature is supposed to soar up into the thirties today...tee-shirt weather! We're off to buy hay this afternoon. I have vowed to have enough hay in the mow to go the whole winter next year. This year was touch and go but the lambs are thriving beautifully.
