Fall lambs??

As I was tending the barns the other day...something caught me off guard.  As one of the ewes turned to walk away I was greeted by the sight of a slightly swelled udder.  Hmmm...I made a note to keep an eye on her udder in the days that followed.  That was about 5 days ago, and sure enough, each day her udder appears to have enlarged ever-so-slightly.  I have been eagerly anticipating the January-February lambs we've been breeding for but this is an unexpected, but equally exciting surprise.  Who cannot help but love the sight of a soft, fuzzy lamb (or lambs!) following close at their mama's side?  Certainly not I! :)  Hopefully I will have pictures of a new addition (or additions!) to post within the coming weeks :)
