This little boy was the next one born. I almost lost him. His mama's milk didn't come in real good right away and he got cold. So I started him on a bottle in between his moms milk but finally told his mom I was taking him in the house to warm him up. I thought she would throw a fit but she excepted it just like she understood. I had him in the house all day.Finally in the late afternoon I knew his was ready to go back to his mom. She just took him back like nothing had ever happened.I continued to feed him extra milk for about 3 days and then he refused to take anymore of the bottle. He is doing just fine now.
These little girls were born the day after the little black one. The mom is very old and should have not been bred this year but.......accidents happen. She has always been a really good mom. She had these lambs with no problems and is very proud of them. She is 14 years old.
She loves her babies

Lambs and More Lambs
Here are the ladies in waiting. Fat and sassy. This was before it snowed. It actually looks like spring, Doesn't it. Well......
It actually started snowing few days after I took these pictures
But a few days before it started snowing I had my first lambs. A set of triplets. Two boys and a little girl. The colored lamb is the girl
They are very healthy and Mama is taking care of all 3 of them. Often when triplets are born the mom can't feed all three and one of them always gets left behind. But these three are just fine.
