Day 13 Update - We had two sets of triplet lambs born. Both ewes had them on their own. One little lamb has an entirely black tail, it is so cute. We then had 2 calves born later in the evening. One of the calves born on Day 12 has been a bit slow to get going, so we have been milking his mom to feed him. She is a very quiet cow, so it makes the milking easy, but we are definitely ready for him to start nursing on his own. He is a big boy, probably 120 lbs or so. Most of the calves this year have been weighing between 75-90 lbs. We will weigh him tomorrow and let you know.

Day 12 - 6 calves - The boys are eagerly and regularly checking the ewes and cows from 6am to their bedtime. Watching the excitement in their eyes has to be the best part of calving and lambing season. As soon as their alarm goes at 5:47am, their feet hit the ground and they are dressed and out the door by 6am. On Day 12, we had 6 calves for them to bring into the barn between 6am and 9am. Needless to say, there was lots of excitement! The rest of the day was quiet, so we then had a chance to catch up on chores.

Calving - Day 11 - We had another 2 calves yesterday. One of which is a bull calf which we are excited about. The boys and I had a very productive school day in between the morning and evening chores. The anticipation is high for more lambs! However, the ewes have decided to leave us in suspense. Still no more lambs even if the boys are checking them every 2 hours during the day. Maybe tomorrow?!

Calving Day 10 - It was a fun filled day! The day

Calving Day 10 - It was a fun filled day! The day started with helping a new calf and doing the morning chores. The boys then went bowling with their school and we did a few beef deliveries. When we came home, we worked on some school and checked the cows and sheep. The boys had so much fun making a new lamb gate and it will be exciting to watch the new lambs sneak through into their own little space in the sheep shelter. By the end of the day, there were 4 new calves.

Here is of our overview of our first week of calving. We have had 13 calves in the first seven days, with many more cows getting close. All of our calves have been put into the barn with their mothers to dry off since there is still snow everywhere. The boys have had lots of cuddles with the newborns and they are great helpers with processing each calf. We are looking forward to a fun packed month of calving and lambing, and possibly little sleep!
