Dugur, our Livestock Guardian Dog or LGD, caught mid-shake…

It warmed up this week and snowed….
Lots!!
I would much rather deal with the snow than the bitter cold.

Emma has loved being my little helper! She makes sure all the lambies get their daily dose of loving!
Even Thor gets to enjoy her loving…

Bliss, our pretty blue ewe…
Her twins!
When we did our midnight check last night, I could hear babies crying loudly and knew something was up. Thor, our Akbash LGD, was guarding one of the hoop houses and when I shined my light in there I found these two treasures up and trying to nurse. I thought it was pretty neat to see Thor protecting Bliss and her babies. Thor had to stop by and see how things were this morning.
Chunky ram lamb. He is a spotted grey moorit (brown).
Nice chunky ewe lamb. She is solid black!
Who will be the next to lamb? Perhaps Delight?
The other lambs received their BoSe supplements and are now sporting tags.

Part Border Collie, part lamb…little Charlie loves to chase the chickens.
Proud Mama, Drifa!
Drifa with her ram lamb Finn, and ewe lamb Fern.
Finn, was the first to arrive and had a perfect delivery. Little Fern was the last to make her appearance. Her front feet were coming out but no head. She had it way off to the side and twisted back. At 2 am I was convinced this was a headless lamb… I was about to give up fishing for it when it last I caught hold of it. It took several more minutes trying to align it correctly and finally pull her out. She span right to life and got busy looking for something to eat!
Drifa is such a good mamma. She was holding perfectly still while letting little Finn nurse and was licking little Fern off right after she was born. Fern, while trying to figure out her legs kept going backwards and Drifa would stretch her neck a little further and keep cleaning and holding perfectly still!
The chicken stomper, Miss Freckles! Poor henny was just trying to find a spot to lay eggs, she decided that next Freckles baby was not the spot!
Eking closer!
Mr Flint…
Adorable Miss Freya…
A happy Thor dog…
