As you can see by the pictures we are getting closer to lambing. The nine ewes we bred are all looking bigger, some look like they are going to twin, some just a single, and then the other, namely Rory, looks like she will have a triplets or maybe more! Of course Rory (see above) is our 50% Gotland, 25% Shetland and 25% Finn so is a bit bigger already than the rest of those in the flock. Apparently Finn sheep are quite prolific so I wouldn't be surprized if she didn't pop out 4 of them. I wonder if at this point they sense what is coming?
I love the preggie pictures, and you are right; Rory may give you a "litter"! Poor dear Natasha certainly didn't look like she was carrying twins though....
ReplyDeleteI wonder what ours look like right now under all that wool. We will know in about 10 days, but it is a little worrying to shear them that close to lambing. I do hope that the weather cooperates.
