meet Hershey and Bosco !

Had another set of twins born yesterday afternoon . NO , again not the one I thought would lamb a few days ago !
Sneaky ewe showed no sign she was ready to lamb. Did a sweep of the flock mid afternoon and found her down the hill in a nice little hollow just about perfect for her to lamb. She was in steady contractions so left her alone and sat on a rock close by to keep and eye on her. She was all business. None of this getting up and down , pawing or circles round and round. She got comfortable and went down and popped out two little ewes in short fashion. Two brown beauties , we are calling them Hershey and Bosco.



I let the first ewe and her lamb out with the flock today. Most of my last years lambs were very fascinated with the tiny new addition to the flock.
I'll add to this blog if there are any new lambs born today .
