Lamb Watch Day 4

Day 4 was so exciting.  Last year we bought a Grey-Faced Dartmoor ewe at the sales.  We called her Storm.  She went to the ram last November, and today she gave birth to her first lamb - a pretty little ewe lamb.  We named the lamb Tsunami because she was born so quickly.  I put iodine on Tsunami's umbilical cord and then helped take Tsunami and Storm up to the pairing pen. 

Trying to get a Grey-Faced Dartmoor to follow her lamb up to the pairing pen was quite difficult as her fleece is so long she has difficulty seeing her lamb, and kept running off in the wrong direction.  We ended up having to bring her up in the back of the truck.  Once in the pairing pen we gave her a trim around the face and the udders, so she could see her lamb and so the lamb could get to the udder.

Take a look and see Storm and Tsunami in this Lamb Watch video.
