Sheepy Surprises


Last year our Navajo Churros both lambed in March. I was thinking they were going to keep the same cycle as last year but it turns out they bred a month earlier than last year. Last night I was greeted at feeding time by an addition of a tiny baa. One of the NC had lambed yesterday during the wettest, coldest, windiest day we've had in months because that's just what sheep do. It looked like one big healthy lamb. We're very glad with the Navajo Churro sheepies as they have a tendency to lamb on their own without needing assistance and have big healthy animals. I'll go back out there tonight to see how it is doing but Jed said that it was fine this morning. We'll keep an eye out for the Darth sheepy to see when she will lamb. It makes me wonder if all the animals will birth around the same time. We'll keep you all posted with new animal updates.
