The Old Lady

Having breakfast this morning looking out at the girls. 
Chris spotted the old lady making small circles  in 
the same spot and digging with one foot. A good sign 
that she's ready to give birth. The first popped out 
at 6.45 a little girl (our first this year). The ewe 
cleaned her up quick and the little one was on her 
feet quickly. The flock gathered round checking out 
the new member of the family even our little ram had 
a good snoop! Half an hour passed and Chris needed 
to head out to work so we thought it best to get 
the ewe in and have a closer look.  She needed a 
little help but had two large boys, making this the first triplets this year!
