These are Ballad's twins - one of each. The ewe lamb (Valley) is in front, at her feet. They were born early this AM, and mama was about to take them out into the pasture with her for her morning graze. I grabbed them and penned them up until I gave them shots, and banded tails and put in ear tags. Now they can go out and play in the sunshine.

Good morning, twins

I grabbed them and penned them up until I gave them shots, and banded tails and put in ear tags. Now they can go out and play in the sunshine.

Well that's the way to lamb, isn't it! What shots do you give them?
Do you routinely band the tails in the first 24 hours?
They get a shot of CD&T and 1cc of Bose. And yes, I try to band as early as I possibly can - sometimes when they are still wet. As soon as I know they have nursed and are strong, they get banded.
