We are counting down to Zelda and lambing, just a few days away. The ultra-sound we saw last week showed all of the ewes (save Kim, who lost her lamb) are bred, Zelda by far the closest, the vet thought a week or two at the most. We are ready, the ewes have all been given their shots, our lambing kit arrived yesterday with vitamins and boosts and lamb’s milk if we need it, we have syringes and I ordered an electric- heated tail docker and cauterizer (I prefer a clean cut to the elastic bands, which I think are the most painful). We have a stall ready with heat lamps, sheep grain and vitamin salt.

I am looking forward to seeing Zelda as a mom, poor Red.
