Not much activity today - one set of twins and two singles (as of 5 p.m.). The ewe that was in labor last night had two nice ram lambs.
I moved them onto fresh feed today. Taff did great - he's usually intimidated by ewes with lambs, but he got them all moved. The lambs are starting to learn the system - I'm always amazed by how quickly they figure it out!
We're off to the Foothill Farmer's Market Association Annual Meeting tonight - a fun potluck dinner. We'll probably check on the ewes on the way home.
Thoughts about sustainable agriculture and forestry from the Sierra Nevada foothills.
