Life on the Farm:  Here Come the Lambs!

Kristie was the first with lambs this year: triplets!  She had 2 ram lambs and a little ewe lamb last Tuesday morning.  They are all doing fine now despite being what I call "slow starters" - it took them awhile to learn how to nurse given Kristie's cow-like udder and teats.  The little girl never got the hang of it so is now a bottle lamb.  One of the boys will nurse but needs supplemented with a bottle too.  They stick close to mama but already run to me for milk when I walk in their stall.
