The barn that is! We had our first baby lamb born (either the 23rd late evening/night or early morning the 24th). She's adorable of course - pure white and just loving. She likes her head scratched.
So now - we are expecting the following:
11 more ewes (female sheep) to give birth and they usually have twins.
9 goats (I think) to give birth and some look like they might have triplets - but the average is twins.
All due within the next week.
So everyone is in the barn because we still have a load of snow in the fields which doesn't seem to be going anywhere fast.
I'm happy with the set up at the moment - our little Nigerian Dwarf Buck (boy goat) is NOT happy because I put him in a pen and he just doesn't agree with that. When he screams ----- he screams! Sounds like someone is dying out there - but no he just wants to let you know he is upset with you.
So with Christmas over - we get ready to take a few breaks and now we start lambing and kidding season.
