So last night we began lambing, 2010 lambing is under way! I forgot how much work it is:-)) Both maiden ewes one yearling and one two year old. Cocoa (yearling) had a nice ram lamb, with difficulty and then thought he might be the boogey man, all is well now though. Second (1hr later) 35, had a HUGE ewe lamb, I rather hoped that she would twin but oh well. The lamb is suprizingly alive this am with some breathing difficulty. She is doing much better though and will hopefully pull through. 35 is a wonderful mother, just like her mom.

What kind of sheep do you have. I don't know enough to identify breeds.
