Mama and twins doing great! They were born around 8:30 this morning! By the time Farmer J told me Aoife was in labor (and we got dressed and to the barn), one lamb was already born! Within minutes, the next lamb was out! The miracle of birth right before our eyes!
Una (the baby girl) was up on her feet and nursing within minutes! It took the little boy longer to find his legs! By this afternoon, they were both up walking and nursing well! Aoife is a great mama so far; she licked them clean and keeps sniffing them! It's fun to watch!
More updates and pictures tomorrow!
Poor Ciaran! We have to keep the "bully" goats away from the lambs or they try and head butt them!
Mama Beatrix with daughters Jane and Lily! Amazing how big a 2 week old lamb looks next to a day old lamb!
