A trip to Donald’s…

This morning, I went to Donald’s to see his lambs, so far. 2/3 of his ewes have lambed.  He is having his land logged, so the loggers have taken down his fencing to get their trucks through, which means his sheep are temporarily confined to his barn.  Pandemonium reigns…but the little lambs are very cute.  He’s got some dark ones, and one white one, and a bunch of nicely marked ones…and one little triplet running around the kitchen, rejected by her mother.

Here are

two photos:

It sure makes me eager for lambing around here, but I will just have to wait!

New England Lambs a-Poppin’

Well, today I spoke with Suzie Wallis and she has 20 lambs, none of which were supposed to come until April, but unfortunately, she didn’t get the ram out fast enough last fall, and they came a bit early!  She has one in her kitchen, rejected by one of the moms, something I find very rare in jacob sheep!

AND, Donald Dreifuss has a bunch of lambs as well. Tomorrow a.m. I am going to his house to see his lambs, will try to get photos.  He also has one in the kitchen, a triplet, born a few days ago among three ewes and seven lambs. This one couldn’t seem to settle on any mom, nor would any mom settle on the lamb, so indoors it came.   I’m happy to be going for a “lamb-fix” tomorrow, having another month or so to wait for lambs around here.

What about the rest of you out there?  Let’s get some lamb photos posted on this blog, huh?
