I was so glad none of the ewes decided to have their lambs 2 weeks ago when we had another snow - 5 1/2 inches this time which is quite a lot for us. The ewes decided to stay under shelter and eat hay as that white stuff looked cold and deep.
Jasmine was carrying triplets in that big belly; they were born early Saturday morning. I went up to check her before the sun was quite up, and she seemed to be in early labor. After awhile, since she was still walking around while occasionally pawing at the hay, I thought I would run in the house to make a cup of tea. I was gone 20 minutes which was plenty of time for Jasmine to pop out her lambs. I guess she didn't want me watching her.
