The Month Is Almost Over!?!

The oldest ram twins (about three weeks old)

This is one month where I keep looking at the calendar and thinking, "how did we get to the end already?" Granted we had a lot going on this month from baby plans that involved a visit to the hospital, to the baby shower, to setting up the nursery, and so on.

Then there are the lambs in the barn. The three sets of twins that arrived at the beginning of the month are all healthy and growing quickly! We had one more lamb arrive last week. A single ram lamb born from a first time mom. Both are doing well.

The newest ram lamb (three days old)

The same day he was born, we lost a ewe. She prolapsed and was not able to pull through as she was in too much pain. We lost her lamb, too. It's always sad when one losses an animal.

We are still waiting on several ewes to lamb, and hoping they all do well.

The days keep quickly passing by, and like I said at the beginning of this post, I am still in shock that we are at the end of the month. Where does that time go?

Next month will be busy, too, with early planting and plowing, and more lambs arriving. It is a never ending cycle, but it sure beats being bored!
