6 weeks until lambing...

The shearing date has been set and the ewes are getting fat. We have officially reached the ewes' third trimester and are now 6 weeks from the first possible lambing date. That being said, last year the first lamb came 17 days after the first possible date, probably due to Xavier missing the first heat cycle. This year I don't think we'll have to wait quite as long. If Clover is as reliable this year as she was last year, she should lamb on April 4th. Last year Mocha and Crystal lambed two and four days, respectively, after Clover. Looking at Mocha this weekend, I think she will probably again be lambing around Clover's due date. After next week's shearing (2/27), I will post pictures of the exposed ewes.
