Arlene was just starting into labor about 7:30 last night, so I coaxed her into the lambing area, gave her plenty of space, and left her alone. Went down about 9:15, and there was a nice fat, LOUD, ewe lamb with her. She was very steady on her feet already, and going after mom for milk, so I left them alone. Checked back in about 10:30, and Arlene had passed her placenta, the lamb had eaten, and both were finally settling down for the night.
Here you can see the lamb voicing her opinion of the situation - BAAAAAAA!I've named her Rosalie.
So we have 30 lambs - 15 rams, 15 ewes. The first born on 3-19, the last born on 4-19.
