All plans go awry and a couple sheep got pregnant before the rams left, Cora included. Here are her lambs, born on Christmas Eve Day. Can you believe how big they have gotten! Cora is the BEST mother!

Lambs are usually up and about within 15 minutes of birth. These guys looked so nice as the sun was dipping and flooding the barn with light late in the afternoon.

All these Mamas know what they are in for. They are all very interested in the babies. When a Mama is about to lamb, they will sometimes become very interested in another mama's baby. It's a good sign for us - so we know who to watch.

I'll try to post some storm pictures over the next couple days. Stay warm and dry everyone!

Hi Kristin,
I think I saw a burro in the background of your last shot. Do you keep it with the sheep to guard them. I think I read about that somewhere.
Oh, good luck, Kristin! I will keep you and your family in my thoughts as the snow falls. I hope it doesn't make your lives too difficult with lambing.
Kristin, to me the return of lambing season means that I have been reading your blog for a year. I love it, thanks.
What wonderful pictures, thank you for warming my day. Hope you don't get a lot of snow, we are have very cold weather in Denver.
I love seeing those little baby lambie-pies!
Hugs from Indiana, Cheryl
Tyhank ou for sharing your pictures of the new babies! I LOVE to see the little ones...
Oooh those babies are soooo cute! Thanks for sharing the pics!
Well, you've had a busy Weekend!
Anyway, if any more are born Today [Tues], I wouldn't be opposed to having one named after me! Seeing as it's my "B-Day" too!
I'll leave it up to Julia...
Stay warm!
HUGS!
I just love your photos of those adorable lambs. They are too cute!
Is Olivia still with you?
