Little Gracie gives birth to a beautiful ewe lamb, 9 lbs 4 ozs

Daisy adds another ewe lamb to the barn, 9 lbs 14 ozs

Later in the evening, Athena presents two ram lambs. The first one is a feisty little fellow, born with an ‘o-hawk’ and an attitude. Of course he has been named Owen (after former WVU full-back Owen Schmidt.) He weighed 8 lbs 4 ozs.

His brother born shortly after weighed 11 lbs 9 ozs

Poor Hera has looked miserable for weeks now. We were speculating… could she be having triplets?

No… just twins, but two pretty big lambs – a white ram lamb weighing 11 lbs 2 ozs and a black ewe lamb weighing 10 lbs. They were born very vigorous and aggressive and had no problem figuring out how to nurse very quickly. They are Coopworth-Border Leicester X Wensleydale-Coopworth.

This little fellow weighed 10 lbs 5 ozs and at first glance seems to have a huge left eye. When you look closer he has a thin black spot on both his lower and upper eye lid giving the appearance of black eye liner. Hazel is the proud mama of this ram lamb.
