Maria gave us twin boys this am, around 2:30 am. It was an interesting evening check and I am thankful it all went well. I went out at 3 am to do the check and Wilma was feeding a little black ram lamb, she had not cleaned yet so figured maybe another could be in there, so I put her in the lambing pen and watched. She cleaned ok and so figured just a single. I checked around the barn at everyone else and nobody else lambing, and all moms with lambs seemed ok. So into the house I come. At the 6:30 chore time I go out to check on everyone and there I find another larger ram lamb????? Nobody else had lambed so must have been Maria's as well. Since he was not with her for 3 hours he was very hungry, and she was not certain he was her's, so she was tied and he got some food into him. After one day they are a happy family now and doing good.
