Eunice lambed Monday night, and we are done lambing for the year. Eunice positioned herself just inside one of the lamb jugs, and delivered her first lamb, a mostly white ram lamb, probably 20 minutes before I arrived at about 7PM. I moved her further into the jug, and she delivered a much larger, black ewe lamb about a minute later. It’s interesting that we’ve had multiple sheep go unprompted into the jugs to lamb; usually we have to bully them inside. Eunice’s smaller ram lamb is doing better than surviving, but not thriving like his fat sister. He’s slow to learn to suckle, just wants to chew on the teat, it’s frustrating. I’ve been locking Eunice and her lambs in a jug each night, leaving the heat lamp on. Normally, it’s two nights in the jug and that’s it, no matter the weather.
