2015 Lambing season

Sure was a brief lambing season this year with only 7 ewes to lamb out.  We ended up with 12 lambs, all born alive.  3 singles, 3 sets of twins, and 1 triplet.   4 ewes, 8 rams, with 5 white and 7 natural colored.  Would have liked more ewe lambs and fewer singles, but the lambs we have are quite nice and all healthy.
Our first lambs of the season.  The 2 on the left are twin sisters from Oakley.
The big guy on the right is Elvis, a single from Bethlehem.  


Kipling finished up our lambing season with a set of 3 ram lambs.
