Today our first ewe gave birth to 2 lambs. Alystyne was actually due tomorrow, but 2 other ewes were officially due before her, neither of which have yet given birth! I was so surprised that it was her lambs that we found this morning. She had 2 ewe lambs, one of which was 7 lbs at birth, and the other was 13 lbs! When we got out to the barn, the 7 lb one was lying in the straw and not very responsive. Had to get her into the house quickly and warmed her up with the hair dryer. When she finally stopped shaking, she took a bottle of colostrum replacer, and then she went back out with mom.
