weve been pulling barn duty for the last 3 days and were up to 31 ewes dropping lambs. Our lamb count is now 63. Even though we lost 1 qnd one ewe dropped a single, weve had 2 ewes drop triplets. (Triplets means we have 2 bottle lambs living in plastic washtubs in the mud room>)
Im sleepy and Ive gotta get ready for a trip tomorrow. ((((YAAAAWWWWNNN))))
Wow! Farmer, you sure have your hands full over there buddy!
I'm getting the warm fuzzies for those little lambsydivys.
Are there any more arrivals?
Went out to a party at a friend's place.
I wasn't feeling too flash, and the atmosphere seemed a bit strange, so I came home early.
Next day they announced they were splitting up, after 20 years!
we had 6 more ewes deliver today. Ive gotta leave for a trip to Chicago and Mrs F has got help for tonites watch. (we have an Amish brother and sister who help during lambing season). Weve got 3 bottle lambs . I hope thats all we have because they dont shut up when they get hungry , and their bleats carry through the house. Weve run out of colostrum so my wife has milked out a ewe or two and saved it in freezer bags.
Well, see yaz all tom orrow night sometime. Ill get pictures when its not so damn busy.
