The last 48 hours have been exciting! Yesterday afternoon Wynona had twins, and this morning Poa also decided to lamb. Both ewes had primarily solid, moorit twins with white flecks dotting their heads. Of the four lambs, three are rams and one is a ewe. The ewe was the largest at 7 lbs! The rams were all just over 5 lbs. I thought Wynona was going to have triplets she was so large, but there were only two (one being the ewe). All lambs are bouncing around and seem to be staying snuggled in the hay to stay warm in our snowy weather.
Here is a picture of Clover's ram (still nameless) that I couldn't resist posting. He's doing very well and has very tightly crimped fleece. He's quite curious, and he's already tried challenging our wether through the fence! This is our only lamb with different markings from the rest.
I'll try to post more pictures later in the week after everyone gets outside. Hopefully things will warm up in the next few days!
Yay! Congrats on the babies!
