A Lambing Journal - Day 40/41
I didn't post an update last night, because we held our second annual "Sheep Camp" - a one-night camp-out where the sheep are pastured. This year, we were joined by current and past interns, their families (in some cases), our landlords, and a number of friends. We made stew for 26 on the campfire - it was quite a feast! The girls and I stayed the night, along with our intern Callie and her boyfriend Matt. We feasted again this morning - egg burritos with bacon and leftover stew.
One of the last two ewes lambed overnight - a great set of twins. We're down to one - I hope she'll lamb today.
