may day babies
discovered these three new babes in the barn this morning with their mama Toffee.
i'd meant to get and go out in the middle of the night to check on the three due ewes but didn't do it.
glad it went smoothly, and that i slept through the night.
hoping we're working our way into a more dependable breeding flock that can birth without assistance!
she tried to reject the smallest lamb, head butting him away from her and into the walls of the barn, but that little lamb is being strong and persistent, nursing regularly. Later in the day she's been encouraging it to nurse more than not.
