I'm not sure what these last two ewes are waiting for - they seem to be holding on for the rainy weather we're expecting again on Saturday. One of the ewes has a small vaginal prolapse today - I expected to find her straining or to find a new lamb (or two) this afternoon, but no such luck. The other ewe is so large that I suspect she's either going to have twins or perhaps a baby rhinoceros.
We are moving my in-laws (Sami's doing most of the moving), and I found a bottle of single malt Glenfiddich scotch yesterday. As soon as the last ewe has her babies, I'll be raising a toast to the sheep! Stay tuned!
