Ahhh! the lambs are finally starting! Cissie greeted me this morning with baa-ing, unusual since my 0500 checks are usually met with ewes giving me quiet stares as I shine my flashlight into their corral to see how everyone is doing. As I went in to see her, she was obviously ready to start, pawing the ground and everyone else was keeping their distance. I let the other ewes. By 0730 Cissie had her warm molasses water, the babes had each had a nice suck of colostrum, and I was free to prep and head out to Zumba where I danced like no one was watching! Grey again this morning, but now....6 hours later, the sun has come out from under the clouds. Hoarfrost decorates trees, and I am full of energy and excitement. One set of lambs will keep me positive for awhile and less fretful as I wait for the other ewes to deliver.
