Picnic
This afternoon Jared and I were outside cleaning stalls and looked out in the paddock to see a bald eagle circling over our paddock. We watched it for awhile until it flew away.
Ewe#16 had a slight prolapse so we put in a prolapse retainer. 
This evening Jared and I went out to the barn to fix ewe #16's prolapse retainer. I looked around at the ewe's and lambs and noticed that one of the lambs was struggling to stand. Then I noticed that it didn't have an ear tag either. Ewe #47 had just delivered twins. Jared went to the house to get Kenzie and I moved the ewe and lambs to a stall. Kenzie clipped/dipped the lambs and we stripped the ewe. Both lambs are boys, weighing 11 lbs 3 oz and 7 bs 15 oz. We couldn't get the smaller lamb to nurse so we tubed it some colostrum from its mom. After a couple hours its mouth was feeling a little cool so we tubed it a couple more oz of colostrum. By our next check at 5am both lambs had nice warm mouths and were doing good.
