Oreo and Spitfire
in the lambing jug |
As I sit here writing, there is a good chance that Nelina, Ella, or Emily are getting ready to lamb. Riley thinks her father is wrong and that
Alice will be next. Therefore, there is a little bit of rivalry going on between the two on who is right. Last year,
Alice was due on February 3 and had her twins early on January 28. Riley remembers that she didn't really "bag up" (teats milk filled) before she had her twins. We were astonished when we went out to grain that morning and
Alice exited the shed with two adorable lambs trailing behind her towards the grain tray.
Spitfire is bonding well with Oreo in the lambing jug (pen). We will reintroduce them to the flock tomorrow, as Spitfire does not like to be cooped up. We are worried that she will jump out of the pen leaving Oreo behind if she doesn't get outside tomorrow morning. Before they leave the lambing jug, we will weigh Oreo
to see how much he has gained in the last 48 hours.
I hope that we will be introducing you to more lambs in the coming days
