Allie had her lamb last night; my husband didn't tell me until I called right before I left for home. I asked him, "Ewe or ram?" He said he didn't check! So, on the way home, the kids and I were chatting about it. My son said, "Mom, guaranteed it is a black ram lamb." Sigh, I have so many of them.
I was very happy to turn over a little white lamb and find a ewe. She's lively, nursing well, and very vocal. Allie has more blood on her back end than I am used, but it seems to have been shed earlier and not continuing. I am certainly crossing my fingers that everything continues going well - very much not ready for another bottle lamb situation, and Allie is my last ewe from Minnie, of whom I was fond.
I will get some pictures up tomorrow. Exhausted after an ambitious lesson plan, full schedule kind of day....and it's getting dark what with all this rain we've had.

Congratulations! We are due to lamb in May if the young ram was up to the task. Little late in the year but i don't like milking in the dark!
