Of course you're not boring us, we all love pics.  Lovely sturdy lambs and wonderful woolly legs  :sheep: :sheep: :sheep:

They are Ryelands- very fluffy legs indeed. Hope they stay as friendly as they are so far. One of thems back leg goes when you scratch behind her ears  :love:
Next one due on Sunday- not having a good feeling about this ewe. Last year (before I bought her) she had a dead lamb. She doesn't strike me as the maternal type. She's the only one who hasn't been to meet the new lambies. Maybe worrying about nothing...

Those are lovely lambs! Great time of year, lots of opportunities for "awww cute " moments looking at lamb pictures. I live in hope they might melt OH so I can have a couple but no luck so far.

I needn't have worried about Norm. After a lot of pushing and grunting, she finally gave birth to a big boy last night, and her maternal instincts kicked in  :relief:
Three quarters of an hour later another tiny boy popped out, looking really rather dead. Cleared is mouth and nose and roughed him up a bit, and he was back with us!
Norm was good with the boys (even though she was definitely more interested in her hay!) and really tolerant as I struggled to get tiny lamb to suckle before I turned in for the night.

This morning she was fussing around them like a good 'un  :relief:

This is the big boy - I didn't take a pic of the little one as I was a bit more interested in getting the wee mite breathing  ;)
