We didn’t mean to name any lambs, because they are planned for meat production. But the first lamb is a ewe and we had talked about keeping one more. She’s a singlet and oh so sweet. Not sure if we’ll keep her or not but OUR EWE HAD HER FIRST BABY!
Our sheep are Katahdin sheep, which are hair sheep, raised for meat.
What Anna found when she went outside yesterday afternoon.
What I saw when I turned around from taking the picture.
Loving on the newborn lamb.
Mama was happy when I set her down again.
The boys on the other side of the fence. They just wanted supper.
She is so attentive.
The lamb carefully found her way to the front of her mama and laid (layed?) down to rest.
Asleep
So sweet! Babies are so precious. Love the name, whether you keep her or not 🙂
So cute! What breed are your ewes? Are you anticipating more lambs soon? Best of luck!!
Julia, they are Katahdin sheep. And we have one other ewe… hope there are lambs soon!
