Spring Lambs

We now have six babies in the pasture...two sets of twins (one male/female, one 2 males) and two singles (one male and one female). The pasture has become quite a noisy place with all the mothers and babies calling for one another at all times of the day. For those unfamiliar with sheep and their habits, they most definitely do not utter the storybook sound of "BAA"... it is clearly a loud "MAA" instead!! We still have two ewes that may yet deliver. The ewe that lost her baby last fall due to its capture by the neighbor's dog seems depressed by all the babies in the barnyard. She hangs back from the crowd and looks sad.
