Lambing, round two.

This is a quick lambing update before things get any crazier here. 

We had one lamb born last night. One GIANT ram lamb.

I thought Ashumet was expecting twins, but last night she gave birth to this single, practically full grown, ram lamb. Of course that is an exaggeration, but he is huge. Poor girl had a hard time getting this one out, and to make matters worse for her, he also has large horn buds, so I am sure mama is feeling a little sore today.

Black, yuglet gulmoget.

 Mama Llama is doing her quality control inspection.

I'm not sure what to think of his fleece yet, but his purse is very crimpy. Time will tell.

There are (at least) 4 other ewes that were bred right around the same day as Ashumet, I know this because the second that the ram was introduced to his ladies, romance ensued. He was not shy in the least bit. So I expect the next couple of days to be a bit hectic.

Sommarnag Ivar is the sire to this ram lamb, as well as the rest of the lambs that are due. I leased him from my friends Craig and Cindy Bowser at Whispering Winds Farm. I should get lots of spots and great horns!

Off to do a barn check!
