Weeks 4 and 5 didn’t bring any lambs, which was expected. Harriet was bred successfully a couple weeks after all the other ewes.

May 4, 2025 – Sunday

Harriet had twin ewe lambs around 4 this morning. She had us fooled, thinking she was going to have triplets! The 1st lamb weighed 8lbs, and the 2nd weighed 9lbs.

Harriet’s udder was so engorged that I milked out some colostrum so the lambs could latch on top her teats better. The colostrum will go into the freezer for any future emergencies.

That’s a wrap on our 2025 lambing season! We had 20 lambs. 9 sets of twins and 2 singles. 16 ewe lambs, 4 ram lambs. 11 Tunis, 3 Jacob, and 6 Tunis/Jacob cross.
