Thirteen and counting!

Cheviot ram lamb four days old

Yup, thirteen lambs so far.  Six ram lambs and 7 ewe lambs.  Five ewes left to go...of which at least three look like they could go any time. The weather has finally turned and we have gorgeous sunshine to dry things up.  Good news for the sheep and good news for us; 5am feedings are a lot more pleasant when the stars are shining.  Here are a few pics of the crew so far

What the?????

More Border Cheviot lambs...

First 2011 lamb; Border Cheviot ram lamb 1 day old

Louise's CVM X Romney ram lamb, Charlie; 1 day old

Romeldale ewe lamb, Carlee

  And, yes, you're right...ALL WHITE lambs so far.  I have a brown-factored CVM ewe that is hopefully bred and will produce some cute little colored CVM babies for the farm, but only time will tell.  If there's one thing shepherding teaches you, it's patience.  What's the saying?  All good things come to those who...(yup)...wait! :)
