Theoretically, we have 8 days to wait before the first lambs arrive. The ewes aren't acquainted with theory, so we might have a ewe or two that decides to lamb early. Accordingly, we will spend the rest of this week walking through the sheep to make sure that everyone's okay.
As I've written previously, I love this time of year. The grass is starting to grow, the days alternate between spring and winter, and we begin to see the results of our work last summer and fall.
On April 2, we're hosting a photography workshop with our friend Mary Yates (from Sage Ranch). We should have most of our lambs on the ground by then - should be a great day for photos and fun!
