Title: the lambs start to arrive at last
Post by: shrekfeet on March 29, 2010, 10:12:01 am

after a full week of checking the ewes every morning at 3am we had our first lambs yesterday. Checked the girls just before heading in for Sunday roast at 5.30 and when I came out again at 7 she'd popped one out and was wandering around with the head of the second poking out. Only one front foot showing but she delivered it okay any way. So we now have two very happy ewe lambs for the children to cuddle
 ;D :sheep:

Congratulations, Shrek!
Our ewe is just showing signs of bagging up - hope the lambs will come as easily as yours have!  :sheep:
