Iden had twin rams yesterday afternoon. They are exceptionally handsome, I think, and nice sized - 12# each. Unfortunately, I forgot to take their picture until after we let them out this morning, so I'll get a picture this evening after work & the BLU board meeting teleconference.
I had to run a lamb to the vet last night because we had a new baby that was not walking on his rear leg. Doc says its not broken, but there is nerve damage due to being stepped on. He got a steroid shot and we have to give antibiotic for 2 more days, but Doc thinks he will recover. Luckily, he is able to get up and about and nurse, and even plays a bit with his sister. We set up a big pen for them so mom has more room and the lambs can play, but he won't have to walk so far following her to and from the pasture. So I got home from the vet last night at 9PM......we had eggs for dinner. :^) I think he looked a little better this morning - we'll see.
So the score is 14 ewes, 14 rams, with 2 more ewes to lamb.
