On her left side is the lamb(s). On the right side is her rumen - it sticks out more than usual because being pushed for space by the lambs.
The biggest single lamb I ever had (well, not me personally, but the sheep) was 24 lbs. It was extremely difficult assisted delivery. I pulled so hard I thought its legs would come off. It was female and she lived a very long and productive life.
looks like twins or maybe more? exciting times on the farm!

I sure hope you're right! If its a single at that size it could spell difficult delivery.
ReplyDeleteIt will a couple at least Dough, If it was one, she would have it more bellow rather than on both sides. Comming soon, huh?
