We've been lambing for two weeks now and the lamb count is at 75. That brings us about halfway to the total number of lambs we're expecting.
The Numbers
80 ewes were bred, and they produce an average of 1.7 lambs.
The vast majority of veteran ewes have 2 lambs per season, but ewes who are in their first breeding season most often carry 1 lamb, so that changes the flock's overall average a by a hair.
We've had 3 ewes deliver triplets thus far.
Rams lambs are currently in the lead at 40, with ewe lambs totaling 35
There 3 bottle babies right now getting bottles between 8:00 am and 12:00 am. Before too long, their stomachs will grow, and they'll be able to take fewer bottles per day, at a higher volume.
Back to the field!
