Babysheep finally gave birth to her babies on Sunday April 23rd. Three beautiful female lambs, one of which has significant black and gray markings. It was quite an eventful day. While working outside we heard a ewe bellowing very loudly by the barn. It was not a normal cry we typically hear from the herd. Sharon went to investigate and, lo and behold, Babysheep had already given birth to the first lamb (Bambi). The birth must have been very difficult for Babysheep to cry out like she did. Most of the time a ewe in labor just grunts a little, certainly not loud enough to hear
from over 1000 feet away. The second and third lamb came out nearly 40 minutes later. Sharon had to help pull Bootsy out, as she got stuck. Bootsy is our black be-speckled lamb--a really cutie. Buzzy, the third and largest of the lambs, came out last with no difficulty. So congratulations Babysheep! You did good. And wow, what an attentive mother she is. Here's the first of many photos taken of this historic event at Bear Valley Farm...
