We started about 3 weeks ago on the little farm, so did grandpa on the big farm. We have had two sets of twin ewe lambs and two single ram lambs. Grandpa had 11 lams from 3 ewes last week. One was a set of five from one ewe, and they all survived! I will have to get pictures figured out and share some of our Dorper/katadin cross lambs. Cute little suckers. My girlfriend sat on a bucket in the pin with them for 30 minutes Saturday

Do you sheer your ewes at lambing time. When I had the fuel business most guys sheered just before lambing. They were lambing in barns. They claimed that sheering them kept them in the barn, as a result they didn't have lambs freezing n a snowbank. Good luck with your lambing.

4 sets of twins in 24 hours, but only 2 females.
I will be keeping the first 50 twin/triplet born females lambs.
Have 50+ that look like they could lamb any day and 50+ more that are right behind them.
Lambing Days on the Farm starts this coming Sat. The weather looks good and I may have more people that I want to put up with, but at $5 per person, I will not turn them away.
