Twin Lambs !

Posted on Friday, December 14, 2007 at 09:32 AM in Animals

Yesterday, my Mr. went out to check on his Jersey/Holstein dairy cow who is due to freshen any day.  What did he find?  Twin lambs!  Not from the cow, of course.....

Mr., our 17 y/o son, and I went out on the Kawasaki Mule and loaded up the lambs and ewe.  The little Jacob Sheep lambs are sooooo cute!  We take them to the barn and put them in the "lamb nursery" for several days so they can get stronger (before a coyote comes) and to bond with their mama.

It's a little early for lambs.  They don't usually lamb until February or March.  My guess is that the ram got out a bit early. 

We are looking forward to lots more baby lambs this early spring.  New life is always exciting.

Lovin' this life !!
