Well I planned dinner. Had a ham roast in the crock pot this morning and was ready to go.
4:30pm - 2 ewes (female sheep) are about to give birth.
4:45pm – nothing happening, come inside to feed kids. Shovel in some brocolli and some of the ham roast – but very little.
5:00 – back outside at the barn….1 gives birth in the hay. Twins – simple birth… so quick the kids missed it.
5:15-6:10 – in the barn watching #2 give birth. Had the kids lock up the dog etc. Momma is having a tough time – gets 1 out and the 2nd one didn’t want to come out. She’s tired so I help and pull #2 baby lamb out….. right after that one follows #3!!!! Help her pull that one out (I wasn’t prepared to be a labor nurse this evening so my hands are now gross). Make sure everyone is breathing including momma. Get her up to do her thing….come inside and now I am pooped.
Now we have 10 lambs on the ground!! 10!!! It doubled within the last couple of hours which is amazing in itself. I don’t know if one of the lambs will make it because it is 1/2 the size of the other lambs (was in the set of triplets)
Time to go check on them again
