Bonny arrived around noon, just before I got home from hauling a horse for someone. After making sure she and Bronwen were doing fine, I went to the house to post "It's a GIRL!" Annabelle wasn't doing a thing - no eating, no cudding, no straining, no restlessness; nothing. That made me think something was going on. Around 2:30 I went down to check on her again, and there she was with dark, wet twins. The lanky ramling, in fact, was still laying in a puddle of birthing fluids with only his face clear of the sack; he must have just arrived. The smaller ewe lamb was already up and vigorously searching for a teat, striking out with her wee front leg in frustration over not being able to find it, the little pistol!

So the 2011 lambing results are four lambs from three ewes; two rams and two ewes - all born on Thursdays! Ruth was the first one to guess that in my lambing contest, so she wins the quilted wall-hanging (to be). Guess I'd better get on that!
That truly is IT for today at . . .
