What could be better than a brand new wiggly wet lamb to brighten your day? This is Sparky, just an hour old, still wearing his birth fluids, although Lilly, my favorite sheep, had given him a tongue bath for the first hour of his life. Mother and babe doing well.
Aww! He's a cute one! Love the name.
ReplyDeleteA real cutie.
ReplyDeleteHow many lambs do you think you will be having this year? What's this about shooting blanks when it is hot out? This will be a big lesson about Mother Nature for Matt.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing around 20 lambs this year depending on how many twins. Yes, we've learned a valuable lesson...not ALL the sperm are killed by the heat. If Matt is reluctant to help me catch the ram again next summer I will get some students over to help me. August 1 and he's out (the ram, I mean.)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sight. Momma and baby and the "good shepherd" watching over them both :)
ReplyDeleteHUGS to all
Happy birthday Sparky and welcome to a little piece of heaven on earth Maggies Farm!

hugs and kisses to all, yes, even the wet wiggly one!

Babies are just so cute. I know what you mean about the ram. All my females are having babies because I said....oh nothing is going to happen it is too hot. Well four babies later....and I am going to do like you...the first of August and he is out.....enjoy your new ones.....They are just so darn cute. Chris
