That’s it! All the ewes have now lambed!
Boomerang finally had her twins (ewe & ram) at 2am this morning after a very long labour. Her first lamb decided to arrive backwards with the novel idea of presenting only one leg & a tail first! This meant the lamb was rather stuck & we had to do a bit of rummaging around to find the other leg to get it out!
All’s well that ends well though & we have safely delivered all the 31 lambs we were expectingπŸŽ‰
Phew – Now to catch up on some sleep! πŸ™‚πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ˜΄πŸ˜΄

Wonderful! Though we will miss watching in on the happenings in the shed!

Great News! I didn’t manage to catch any of the action this year, but I’ve really enjoyed following. (My third year)!

It's been a pleasure being able to watch and delighted that all lambs have been safely delivered. Looking forward to next year now!

Well done! We are about to start….😳

Congratulations! Now for a well earned rest. Xxx

Brilliant! I have really enjoyed seeing your posts. Takes me back

Adoption day! 194, our dark girl, finally had her single lamb today & we took the chance to adopt one of the tiny triplets born last night on to her. This will be much better for the triplets (as there will be more milk available for the two left with mum & for the one who goes to the ewe with only one lamb).
So far the new mum loves both her babies (despite the disparity in size!) and the triplet seems to be enjoying the much bigger milk bar!πŸ‘πŸ™‚ πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ™‚ πŸ‘πŸ‘ πŸ˜πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸΌπŸΌπŸΌπŸΌ
Here’s a photo of little triplet & his new BIG brother!

Huge congratulations to you Lesley. You managed the adoption (with all the smelly bitsπŸ₯΄) at just the right time. The foster mum was more than keen to take on the tiny lamb during her labour and they now all look quite settled. Well done!

Brilliant!! 🀩

Well done. Glad it worked!

Good work and organisation πŸ‘ Don’t you just love it when a plan comes together! Glad it worked out well Lesley.

Here are the three amigo’s – the last left in the lambing shed. Any one of them could go first so it’s just a waiting game at the moment! From left to right Boomerang (twins – first lambing), our darkest girl – (single, again!), Smudge – triplets – first lambing!πŸ€žπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ See MoreSee Less
