Lambs!

As promised, my blogpledge fulfilled! I can now comfortably post about lambies, as Dolores has delivered two little boy lambs. Middlest went out to start the process of gathering horses to trailer to a place to ride- still too wet to ride on the outside ground, and came back with flushed cheeks- "Dolores is going to have her lambs!" She had started to present membranes. So, cancel the riding and start the lamb vigil! We started watching at 1 pm, and by 4 pm we had two healthy babies.
I will get some pictures posted directly, as I need to head up there again and do some more managing...
"Frederick" and Momma bond.

Middlest, the Shepherdess and Frederick have a cuddle.

Frederick getting curious, while February gets his belly full.

D-Lo cleans off February, while brother Frederick talks to Dancer.

The proud Momma nurses her babies. The boys haven't figured out there are two teats yet.

  1. What a beautiful shepherdess!

    And that next-to-the-last photo is sweet.

    Congratulations on two healthy guys.
