Lambs!

Apparently, Rambouillet sheep go into heat in the summer (most sheep/goats don't go into heat until cooler weather arrives). Both sheep and goats have a gestation period of five months. About two weeks ago we had two Rambouillet ewes give birth to twin girls (both ewes - we have four female lambs now). I was so thankful we were having a week or two of temperatures mainly in the 40's. Here are a few pictures of the cute new lambs:



The one on the right is making a funny face right there.

We have three more brown Rambouillet ewes and one white one who haven't lambed. I'm hoping they will wait for a warm day.
