Lambing season, an article by Rosie Hipps, Editor in chief

Lambing season is upon us, and there are adorable baby sheep popping out everywhere.  Lambing Season is a very big thing for us considering that we own a considerable amount of sheep. When lambing season starts we have a lot of responsibility, but in the end it always works out. If you own sheep or are thinking of starting a herd, one thing you need to know is that sheep have an obnoxious habit of lambing in the coldest weather possible. Our sheep started lambing at about the middle of December. But after one mamma had her baby no one else went until the blizzard. Then we had lambs popping out of our ears! The lambs we have are bigger now and we only have two pregnant moms who haven’t lambed yet. But we had some hectic weeks that is for sure! Right after the blizzard at the coldest point possible, all of the ewes lambed. We ran out of pens, it took almost an hour to feed and water them all, but we had fun, running on the bars separating the pens while holding chunks of alfalfa about 7 pounds each.  Banding the girls was easy because we only needed to band the tails, but the boys WOW that was tough! They would wiggle and run away! But now almost all of them are banded and I have several lamb friends. Even though it was hard I would not take back any of it.  Now we are almost done and have had an amazing lambing season, barely any losses and lots of fun.
