Taking forever! There is nothing like having no control over an event to make one learn patience. We seem to be getting a lesson in patience. We have 10 beautiful healthy lambs on the ground, yet we wait and watch for we have 7 ewes left to go and they seem to have decided that they'd prefer to wait a while. I am hoping they don't all decide to lamb en mass in one day. Last year that is precisely what 4 of them did, we wound up with 4 sets of quads, one set of triplets, and a single commercial making for one very busy lamb filled 12 hours. While this definitely speaks to our Finn ram's abilities, it was more than a bit nerve racking for the shepherds, and they ewes always seem choose a day when I am supposed to be out of town.
Perhaps they are waiting on a good low front?
