The fifth lambing... the last lambing!

My last lambing...

Triplet ram lambs born this morning - brown 9lb, black 11lb, & brown 7lb. All of them have some white on their faces!

 

 

The fourth lambing...

This morning I was woken around 1am by bleating...

This white 3yr old ewe had these two lambs pretty well licked clean! A black ram lamb and a white ewe lamb. both about 8lb.

She later delivered a 6lb lamb that was already dead and obviously had been for a little while. It was mostly brown! So she actually had one of each of the main colours possible!!!

 

The third lambing...

My 4yr old pet ewe had twins late in the day on the 18th of August... Both black... A ewe lamb and then a ram lamb...

The second lambing...

 

 

This set of twins was born on the 18th of August to a 3yr old ewe!

A light brown ram lamb, followed by a dark brown ewe lamb.

The ewe lamb almost didn't survive, but she made it, and is a real little fighter...

But sadly the ram lamb died at approximately 24hrs old.

First lambs!!

 My 8 year old ewe had twin ram lambs this morning!

Moorit!!

Lambing time is almost here!

 Lambing time is almost here... My first ewe is due in a few days time (give or take!).

Tupping begins!

 

Plans change...

I decided late last week that instead of waiting another two or more weeks, tupping was going to start today, Monday the 1st of March!

 

I had also contemplated using two of my ram lambs, but for various reasons I decided this morning to only use one... and my ewes are happier about not being divided up!
