Lambikins

This spring has been busy for our sheep!  We have 8 ewes that were impregnated last fall by our ram, Rambo.  Unfortunately, Rambo was attacked by our donkey (who was released from her duties due to several attacks), but fortunately not before Rambo did his job.  All of our ewes have given birth and we now have have 12 healthy lambs running around the pastures.

Seeing a tiny lamb, just a few minutes old, up on it's wobbly legs is one of the most precious things to behold.  This year we got a surprise with a black lamb.  Here she is with her Mama watching Dan put a clamp on her sisters umbilical cord...




This little lamb is already playing by climbing up on a pile of stumps...



We'll be sure to keep you posted as the lambikins grow up this summer!
