Lambing came and went quickly...though I might have said otherwise after seemingly endless nights with little sleep!
I was definitely envying the warmer southern states when I had to bundle up to make my every 2 hour barn checks through the night, determined to be there as witness to any new arrivals!
We happily ended up with 80% ewes, and only one first time mum who singled. We were very thankful that God chose to bless this season with healthy multiples and lots of color varieties!
I have to show you a picture of the first arrivals, twin girls named Libby and Panda. Both affectionate, Libby takes it a step beyond and doesn't allow you to forget she's there, demanding a scratch. Sweet girls, and of course so much fun. Just in case you've also tried to figure out Icelandic sheep color genetics...one twin was black and white, the other was moorit and white. You just never know...
Enjoy!
