Spring lambing has just begun! Prepare for some major cuteness. :)
The first ewe to kick off lambing season was Marlena, and she meant business. Marlena gave our flock its first ever TRIPLETS! Yep, triplets! The first lambs to kick off 2018 were Mae, Maddie and Mario. As you can see, our Shepherdess is right in the mix of things making sure all is well. Mother and babies are doing fine.... And without any need for outside relief. Although tonight, the little ones (at one day old) were pawing and bouncing all over Mom. God bless Marlena. She is heading for Sainthood!
Maddie took after Marlena in markings, along with her brother Mario. They look like mini fawns. They are so innocent when their tired. LOL
Marlena's colors have shifted to grays. I never realized how much until last year's coat was removed.
Our Shepherdess went out yesterday to check on the triplets and found Helen with her twins! They are her very first lambs. The little black one with a touch of white is Hector.
And our little Hannah is almost an exact duplicate of her Grandpa Maximillian. :)
Our newest baby arrived this afternoon. Here he is with his mother Trixie. One really big boy! He is so new, he hasn't been named.
I believe their are 4 more ewes expecting. So stay tuned! :)
