[Jacob-list] Lambs at Perfect Spot Farm

[Cathy Robinson]

Happy Easter to All!

All of the lambs at Perfect Spot Farm have arrived!
You may see them at http://perfectspot-farm.com/2012Lambs.htm

It was definitely a different kind of season for us this year.  After 
declaring that we would NOT have 30 lambs again this year, and planning 
to breed only 11 ewes, those 11 girls had their own agenda and produced 
a mere total of 13 lambs.  We were sad to lose a favorite four year old 
ewe to an unfortunate complication of pregnancy, and she was one of only 
two ewes to produce twins this year.  Her babies are thriving at a 
nearby farm, one a bottle baby and one quickly adopted by a resident 
(non-Jacob) ewe .

Names this year were inspired by the Downton Abbey cast of characters, 
once we got going and decided what to do!    Our girls outnumber the 
boys 7-4, and only two mom's produced multiples even though most of the 
"veterans" did so last year (one had triplets).  Instead, we have an 
abundance of healthy, strong and robust singles that are growing very 
well and are an especially fun bunch this year!

Hope everyone has had a good lambing season!
