Tulip our other Border Leicester ewe started labor just before 6pm tonight. First, her mucus plug discharged and then about 20 minutes later she started grunting and pushing. After approximately 22 minutes the first lamb was born. Tulip immediately started to clean off and bond with her lamb. Then at about 7:50 pm she started to grunt and push again...We did not expect another lamb as Twix weighs 13lbs. That is an amazing weight for a single lamb and completely astounding for a twin. Snickers was born shortly after 8pm, he looks to be about the same size as Twix. Below, there is a short video...we will post pictures soon of the newest editions to our flock.
