[Jacob-list] lambing

[Barb and Ron Skarin]

Hello 
I have just finished my first lambing year. I enjoyed every bit of it. Had no problems with any of my ewes. I had 6 ewes lambing. Out of  7 lambs, I got 5 rams. I couldn''t believe it. 
I was hoping for more then just 2 ewes.

I did learn that the ones you think are going to lamb first, are the last ones to lamb.  

I didn't get to see any of them lamb, cause they all did it in the afternoon when I was at work. It was fun to come home and see a little lamb standing in the doorway of the barn. The weather also was nice too. 

I had one ram lamb that was 12 #. I did get to see Clover start labor but had to leave for work. It took her two hours to have this ram lamb.

I just love my Jacobs. The lambs are already running around and playing with each other. I could sit and watch them for hours.

I enjoy reading everyones experiences with their jacobs.
