Lambs just born

January 8, 2009 >> Leave a Comment

More tomorrow, gotta run see how the lambs are doing. This photo was taken a few hours ago, when the black lamb in the back was about 10 seconds old… Both lambs were doing well when I left the farm about an hour ago, they were up in minutes and had nursed within 15 minutes of birth. Stay tuned!

    Congratulations on the birth of these two cuties and thanks for sharing ! 🙂 The stall looks warm and toasty and the ewe has this expression of love, worry and exhaustion………… This picture is something for the heart. 🙂

    Are lambs usually born during the coldest part of the year? Just wondering. I know next week it is only suppose to be a high of -6 ( here in Wisconsin). I wouldn’t want ot be a new born out there! YIKES!

    When I was small, we lived on a farm in southern Illinois. We had many births and I do miss the experience. My father had cattle and each cow had a name. It was so special when the calves were born but we were lucky as most came in the spring or summer.

    The lambs are so cute! Our dogs go herding over at a home near us that have sheep. They recently just had two small goats born and they are just adorable.
