Cute Lambs!

Wild Rose Farm Mixing Pen
Here's a glimpse of the "mixing pen" where the ewes and lambs are hanging out now. The only ones not out here are the two ewes with triplets, #129 & #142.  They are doing quite well, but we'll likely keep them in the barn rather than turning them out to graze. That's been our "MO" - method of operation - once we get triplets successfully born and coming along, we don't tempt fate & send them out to possibly lose one!  The ewes are taking great care of them and none are being supplemented with a bottle. They have access to their own lamb creep feeder and will start using it more as each day passes …
Here's an interesting side note - blog statistics are showing that the largest portion of our "audience" right now is coming from Italy.  Hello to all of our Italian visitors and best wishes for your good health!
