Off to a Good Start

Saturday marked the first day of the new arrivals at the farm, our first lambs, a healthy set of twin rams!

The first born twin about 12 hours old.

The second born twin about 12 hours old.

When we first found the laboring ewe, she had delivered the first lamb. We waited a few minutes and then decided to move her and the lamb to the lambing pen. Little did we know that a second lamb would arrive. We thought she looked big like she would have twins, but we also thought that she would have had both lambs by the time we had moved her. Well...we thought wrong!

It just so happened that we stepped away from the lambing pen to get fresh bedding for the pen when we heard a lot of bleating. I left hubby to fend for the bedding while I went to look to see what the commotion was about. To my amazement, there was a second lamb!

We are truly blessed, and are looking forward to the rest of the lambs arriving.
