We had a lamb born at 1:30 this morning.

 Ivory, a Dorset/Romney ewe, and Jeremy, a 
Dorset/Romney ewe, had a ewe lamb. 
Her father is Stormy, a Black Ram.
The only black on this lamb is her nose, her feet,
 and a few light spots on her body.
 Since the boys won't leave their door shut, we tied a 
tarp to their gate to keep the cold and wind off the lambs.
 Looking from the boy's pen toward the lambing jug area.

This area is set up for 2 jugs.Notice the heat light unit
in each corner. She is a second time mom, and an 
excellent mom, so she got the whole area to herself.
Ivory says 'Hello! What do you have for me?'

We have 20 naked ewes.

At least 17 of which are definitely pregnant. 3 of which, if they are, won't deliver until March 16th at the latest.





 Oreo
Horned Dorset/Romney
with a little Border Leicester/Jacob.





 Last year's 5 lambs.


 Nea (llama) and Noggen (alpaca)






 Midnight. Dorset/Romney

 The fleece is beautiful and 4" long, just has
 lots of hay seed throughout it....
 I intend to jacket them after they lamb.

 Jeremy wants to know what I am doing.













The camper came down the drive after a week at the top....

And, little did I know until we got it at the bottom of the drive, that someone had stolen the electrical system, the heat system and the kitchen table from out of the camper. I did not go with hubby and our friend to pick it up from where it was still parked at the former owner's. Someone opened the side door, and ripped off the 2 small outer doors and took what they wanted. I don't know if anything could have been done at that time and I'd not yet but insurance on it. Did not think I needed to. Too trusting I guess.
I had planned on keeping the electric in there so that Maggie's Shop could have lights.... Hubby was going to use the heat system in his garage. And why take the table? People can truly be mean idiots.

 See those two holes in the back, near the bottom?
Thieves!!










 The flock wants to know what is happening.
The boys just want food....
