Marcia and Dennis brought their grandkids over this afternoon.  

Dominic was a little nervous around those loud sheep but Brooke seemed to like them.  She held a chicken and a lamb. She also collected an egg to take home.

We made pizza for dinner.

We came out around 2:30 am to check the sheep and Ewe # 38 (who we pulled dead lambs from last year) had delivered two stillborn lambs.  This morning, after taking the boys to school, I went to the barn to feed the sheep.  Ewe #46 had just deliver a lamb by the hay feeder. Its a single girl weighing 11 lbs 8 oz.  Jared came home from work for the day.

After the boys were in bed Jared met Vikki halfway to get Kenzie.  She is going to be staying with us on spring break.

Ewe #614 delivered twins this evening.  Kenzie assisted in delivering the first lamb.  These lambs were boy/girl weighing 7 lbs 6 oz and 6 lbs 3 oz.  After a long time working to get them to stand the girl still couldn't.  The lambs were weak so we tubed them some colostrum.  We couldn't get the girl to nurse so we continued tube feeding her.  She had white muscle disease and died a few days later.   The boy ended up dying too.  We believe he also had white muscle disease.

Notice the hind legs on the lamb Kenzie is helping. When she did learn to walk this is how she stood.

Too bright!
