more from lambing season. . .

Here are a few more photos from Lambing 2008. The main section of the barn houses the girls left to lamb,

as well as the new mothers and their lambs.

We redesigned the lambing portion of the barn to allow room for more "jugs." These pens, where the ewe and lamb spend the first 24-36 hours getting to know each other, are roomier than last year, and allow us to view all the lambs in one glance.

We use a giant dry erase board to keep track of which pairs are in which pen, how long they have been there, and how they are doing.
