The Ewes have Lambed
After selling a few lambs and sheep, I now have 14 sheep in all, including one ram and one wether. That leaves 12 ewes. The first lamb was born on 15 June and the last was born on 11 August. Of the 12 lambs only two died and we didn't have any twins. I have 10 lovely little lambs, all jumping and running around together. Actually, there are a few who still stick closely to their mums but most are social. Even Spotty Nose, my oldest ewe, had a lamb, who's father was Arnie. I think that was the only lamb that he fathered, as Spotty Nose was the last to lamb on 11 August. I have included a few photographs below.
