Lambing Time!

Lambing officially started on Tuesday with 2 ewe lambs (girl lambs).
Tonight we had triplets (2 boys, 1 girl) and then to our surprise 1 more very large boy from momma #3.  Mike assisted with the third triplet and thank goodness all seem to be nursing just fine so no bottle babies yet.  The count is at 6 lambs so far.  If you like to make a guess at how many lambs we will have by end of April-- place your bet.  I am going for 42.  We've got about 24-26 mommas with a few new moms.

"Sheep! Sheep!" that is Rosemary's comment on looking at your post. Hmm, we guess 39.

Aww. I'll say a nice round 40. And congrats on the triplets -- that's pretty rare, isn't it?
