Today was triplets and no bottle lambs
Today one of our Navajo-Churro ewes successfully delivered triplets and, unlike our ewes this weekend who could not even manage two, is managing fine with three. The barnyard is full of lamb sounds and the season is only one week in. Many, many more lambs to come. For some reason the Navajos are ahead of the Jacobs. They may be finishing as the Jacobs start. I will say that our Navajo mothers are better than our Jacob mothers. Two of our three abandoned lambs are from Navajo ewes -- even though most of the lambs right now are being born to Navajos.
