Next instalment of lambs

I am slightly behindhand with updating the blog, been a bit busy in the lambing shed over the weekend and not got to the computer. Saturday saw 2 ewes giving birth. Dawn (black shetland) gave birth to twins, 1 ewe, 1 ram, both black.

'Leave me alone!'

In the evening Galina (portland) gave birth to a very small ram lamb. She wasn't due for another week and I think that is why the lamb is so small. It took quite a lot of help to get it to suckle for the first time and was quite shivery. It now seems to be ok thankfully.

40 winks!

In the early hours of Sunday morning Clarissa (Portland) gave birth to a ewe lamb.

Contented.
More lambs have been born yesterday and today so will update those when I have had a chance to take photos and can get to the computer!
