7 Days and Counting...

...to baby lambs. Next Thursday, March 30th, will be 144 days since we put our rams and ewes together. This average gestation period is a few days shorter than more modern breeds of sheep. According to ISBONA, the average is 142-144 days.

You can see here that Coconut is "showing." The udders on all the ewes are bagging up. I can't wait to post photos of baby lambs!

weather today: 27°F/45°F cloudy, sprinkles this afternoon
