[Jacob-list] ewes bagging up

[Melody]

It is hard to wait, isn't it?  Most of my ewes start bagging up as much as 
3-4 weeks  ahead of time, but I have one who never bags up until the last 
minute--just days before.  If I try to guess "who's next" by udders, they do 
it in opposite order just to make me look silly.    This year the one I 
thought would be the first to lamb was not only last, but held out a full 
week after all the others.
