[blackbelly] Lambing
Hello group. We had an interesting birthing in the last two weeks. A young yearling ewe had twins.one normal sized and the other about 1/3 of the sibling. We were concerned for the small one, but in two weeks, he/she has grown and is doing great. Mom clucks to it and takes good care. So far, bigger sibling hasn't shoved it out of the way for eating. Other young ewes are now lambing. Our older batch lambed in fall/winter of '05 and we've already shipped/weaned them. Sold 40 head due to lack of rain and grass here. Hay is getting high as heck. Best wishes to all, Pray for rain for Texas with the cold front coming this weekend.

[blackbelly] Lambs Born
Well since everyone is speaking of lambs . We have had 113 live lambs born since Jan 1 to 64 ewes total. Some of these are Jacobs but over half are black bellies of some sort. We lost 7 others for various reasons. We are not done lambing yet. But I hope they hold off for about another week because we have a terrible cold snap coming with high winds to boot. Good Luck to everyone else whose going to be lambing soon! It sounds like we all had some very busy rams last fall!

Re: [blackbelly] Lambs Born
I have a question. I have a young ewe, not yet 1 yoa, who had her 1st lamb. He is itty bitty, teeny, tiny. My twins born the same day are bigger than him. He is nursing well and mom is being a good mom. I keep checking his tummy to make sure he has a belly and watch him nurse. Tail goes crazy and mom is putting out the milk. I am trying not to mess with them and let her be a mom but I keep thinking I need to do something with him so small. She has good weight and they both seem happy campers. Am I being paranoid or do I need to worry. The closest sheep vet is a ways off and I do not want to haul them if I can keep from it. Has anyone else seen little guys to 1st time moms. oj -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Nancy Richardson Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2006 3:23 PM To: blackbelly@lists.blackbellysheep.info Subject: [blackbelly] Lambs Born Well since everyone is speaking of lambs .

Re: [blackbelly] Lambs Born
Many young mothers and/or first time mothers have smaller babies. This applies to almost all species. It is sort of like the Momma is practicing the pregnancy, parturation and raising stuff. As long as Momma and baby are both behaving normally, the baby continues to gain and remain active, you are okay. Who knows, the little one may ony day be your most prized ram!
