Today, we held a "Lambing School" at the ranch. This was part of a grant program through the Western Region Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education program. We had nearly 50 folks come to learn about managing newborn lambs - it was a great day! Enjoy these photos!
On the lambing front, we had 3 sets of twins and 3 singles today. When the ladies got home, Emma discovered that her ewe (a North Country Cheviot named Falfa) had lambed. Emma's message on my cell phone was priceless - she's definitely a stock-woman!
