It is official. In the history books of Lark's Meadow Farms the first day of lambing for the year 2012 shall be February 3rd. At 6:00 pm the first two lambs made their appearance without any assistance. With two bouncing and strong ewe lambs coming from one of our best milkers, we are off to a great start. We are hoping for a strong crop of ewes this year and excited that these two came just right.
At 3:00 am today two ram lambs came without any fuss and we know that we are into it. This little guy is sure a cutie. His mother has one of the more annoying sheep voices of any sheep that we have owned. We are hoping it doesn't carry to the next generation...
With sixty ewes we are hoping for at least 120 lambs this year and it is sure to be an adventure from start to finish.
The lambs are adorable! Best wishes to you and a productive season!
