I can honestly say, I did not expect to start out the lambing season with triplets. It's a first time for OK Acres to have triplets and all 3 babies are doing wonderfully. My Texel/Charallois cross ewe was bred to one of my Shetland rams and she was so big, I seriously thought she had an entire herd in there, and I guess I was somewhat right.
As is the norm, the first babies get all the attention and the lion's share of the pictures taken.

| Being born is hard work. Thank goodness we got these spiffy sweatshirts to wear for our nap. |
I go to the local resale shop and get 2T sweatshirts and cut off the arms, then cut a "boy notch" to keep them from being soaked with urine. I got this handy tip from someone on line a few years ago and it works great for baby coats.
Now, I've got to get some purebred Shetland lambs on the ground. These 3 were Nantucket's offspring.
Great idea with the sweatshirts!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the triplets, Kelly.
ReplyDeleteThey are way too cute!!!!!!!!!
And thanks for the sweatshirts tip........it's been cold here the last couple of days and I know that Brittany is carrying twins yet to be born.
Congratulations on the triplets Kelly! Maybe these will just be the first set for you this year. I'm glad they are all doing so well! Cute coats too.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, they sure are adorable.
ReplyDeleteStill waiting for Bug babies... :)
Super cute! I like the little white one!
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies, I'm thrilled with their progress. Weighed them today and they are 10.5#, 9.5# and 9# lambs now.
ReplyDeleteEmily.....don't get too attached to the boys. :(
Congratulations on the new lambs! Pretty amazing when triplets are born, and such big ones. She'll be busy making milk for those three!
