It is looking like our final lamb count for 2019 is 16 lambs: 1 single, 6 sets of twins, and 1 set of triplets out of 8 ewes. Ewe lambs out-numbered ram lambs this year with 9 ewe lambs and 7 ram lambs. Our tiny triplet ewe bottle lamb, Minna Mini-Muffin, just went to her new home today and is doing well there. She made huge progress while she was here–a tough little girl who started at 2.7 pounds and left this morning 12 days old at 5.7 pounds, lively and healthy. We’ll miss her, but she her special destiny is to be a Therapy Lamb, thanks,Denise Hackel, for opening your heart and home to her! Our one sad note for 2019 is that we think Leda, our sweet 4 year old white ewe, missed her breeding with Leego and will have no lambs. Time will tell, but although she is quite large, her udder is still very small and our last possible likely due date based on ram exposure period was today. Her udder should be bagging up by now. Leda is an easy keeper and likely will need to lose some weight before she can be successfully bred again.
