Spotty Lambed ~ June 5th, 2012!!

On June 5th, 2012 when my mom and one of my little sisters went out to feed the dogs late at night they found Spotty with a white new born ram lamb. Earlier that morning we brought Spotty up from the pasture, because she was VERY swollen and her udder was HUGE . . . even though she was 9 days away from her due date (she was just to ready looking to go out to pasture with the rest of the sheep).

The sire to the lamb is Panda, one of our Finnish Landrace rams and the dam is Spotty, one of our meat breed ewes.

Alaina Lambed ~ February 20th, 2012!!

On February 20th, 2012 I went out to check on Alaina and she appeared to be in labor. So a little bit later I went to check on her and sure enough there were two legs out. So we watched for a little bit and then I assisted it out just a little bit . . . it was not stuck really at all. She had a huge 13 pound ram lamb. The sire is a Katahdin ram, Rocky and the dam is our Tunis ewe, Alaina.

Here is a video of her birth ~
