Smiling First ones on the ground, one of my St Criox/dorper ewes went today.......... Had a nice 5-6 pound ram lamb, 'thought' she was done ( first year ewe) Nope, about 45 minutes later, had a little bitty ewe lamb, about 1/2 the size of her brother........ I am concerned about her, mom isn't showing much 'patience' with her tryin' to nurse..... I milked mom and got a couple oz into baby and am headed back out here in a bit to check and do it all again if she needs more............ Regardless, I have a couple pictures..........

( ouch)

Her sister had a LOT of interest in the ram lamb ( she is also due at any time now)

These babies are 3/4 Dorper ( ram is 100%, Ewe 1/2)

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
