Cupcake and her grandmother Marshmello decided to lamb at the same time this morning. So far a single from each, but I am not positive they are done yet. I placed them each in a large jug with their new ewe lambs and came in the house to give them a little peace. These two are very private and would hold on forever waiting for me to leave, so I will just have to go back and forth from house to barn often to keep an eye on them. Cupcake had a moorit and white ewe lamb and either has more in there or was very over fed this winter!
Marshmello had a mini-me big white spot ewe lamb, either black or grey, but will carry moorit. A good size lamb, so Marshmello may actually only single this year.
Here is a photo of Hester's lamb next to Cupcake's...born within 24 hours of each other. Cupcake and Marshmello were both bred to Seneca.
Hester the week before, post-shearing. She didn't look that big or act that close to lambing!?
More to come later, time to go do another barn check!
