Daisy had a girl lamb!
And Ewe #47 had boy/girl twins!
Eva's lambs
Fryne's lamb climbs into the hay feeder
I came home from work and hurried to the barn to check on the sheep. I found that Daisy and Ewe #47 had just lambed. Daisy had a single girl and the suffolk had boy/girl twins. I got them into stalls and helped dry the lambs and got them taken care of. I stripped the mom's and tubbed the lambs. Got them some water with molasses and some hay. After they were all taken care of I went inside for a little while. When I came out both mom's had delivered their placenta's. The new lambs were all nursing good. Grandpa was crying so I went in and he was pushing on my leg for his bottle. He ate quickly and is doing good. Wilma's lamb has gained about a pound since we let her out of the corner yesterday so she's doing good. Nik came over after school and the boys played in the snow. Eli came in and built a little blanket tent. He did his reading in his tent with a flashlight. This evening Eli was writing us lots of cute notes. He made a mailbox using a lunch bag and we sent notes back to him. Eli and I played stratego and I won. Then Adam and I played and Adam won. Daddy and Adam played risk. Jacob is re reading one of his library books. Adam and Daddy played minecraft. Then Jacob and Eli played on the computer.
