Waiting, watching and spoiling

Lambs are due within the week so I spend a fair amount of time coming and going from the barn to spoil the girls. Here is Memphis looking quite pregnant!

Thankfully the lamcam connected to our bedroom TV allows me to keep an eye on them during the overnight without disturbing them or us. It is the best invention for lambing time.

One of the ewes highlights is alfalfa cubes broken up and drizzled with molasses. It's a great source of energy and protein wrapped up in one.

The other highlight is individual massages from head to toe. The ewes just love their shoulders, hips and backbones rubbed. Who doesn't?! Bea's in the moment.

Now it's Memphis' turn....

and Della's turn.

  1. The goats all like those same places rubbed and scratched and alfalfa and molasses too! In fact if I show them your post I will have 5 horses and 5 goats wanting to come to your place for an extended stay or at least until the goodies run out. ;-)
    Looks like a whole heap of work coming your way. The lambing set up looks great. I have heard nothing but good things on the lambing/foaling cams.
    Oh, the dyed yarn sounds wonderful! Hopefully I'll get to see some of on my trip east. The sleeping dog on my last blog post is actually, Jack, my "weaving assistant" Fat lot of help he was! :-)
