TWINS!

This morning I went out a found that Maggie had twins!


We have been putting her in a separate pen over night for the last few weeks. I knew she was getting closer because her milk sack was just huge, but last night she showed no signs of being in labor. Imagine my surprise to find these cute things this morning!



She was a little nervous this morning, so I didn't go in with them, but from a distance I think we have a new ram and a ewe. Both seem to be doing well. They are nursing, and are up and about. I plan to keep a close eye on them today. I will try to get some better pictures and keep you updated!



New lambs sure are a great way to beat the blahs!

  1. Awww...how neat is that! Congrats on the new babies. I think it's so neat. I hope someday we can have a few farm type animals. Right now we're starting slow with chickens. (o;
