Lambing season has begun again.
Walter and his Mother. February 1, 2010Walter is the eldest, born at the end of January, followed swiftly by cousins Edna, Valentino and Cocoa. Twin girls were born last night, as yet unnamed - already up and in the pasture, feeding and exploring the world.
One lamb born dead and found cold under the trees. Mother and baby put into the stall, where she pawed and nuzzled him all morning. Yesterday and today she still is walking around calling for him - inconsolable.
Lambies taking a afternoon rest with their Mothers.Probably five more births to go - meanwhile the barnyard has become a lamb nursery as the mothers and babies feed and rest on the new green grass.
