The first lambs of the year arrived Saturday Jan 14th around 6 pm. We had been watching Beauty for a week, knowing she could have them any day. Of course the day you have to be away is the day they decide to have them.
We are guessing they were under 1/2 hr old when we got home, the two larger ones (Anna and Adam) were up and trying to drink, the little one (Angela) was flat out by the hay bale. Poor girl. We quickly got them all into a pen and under some heat to dry off, it wasnt bad for temperature but windy so made it all the worse.
Today Anna and Adam are out in the barn with mom, Beauty, and Angela remains in the house for warmth and feeding. She is getting stronger each hour and starting to really enjoy her bottle.
