Triplet ram lambs not quite a day old.
Lambing season started with triplets born under a nearly full moon and ended 15 days later with triplets born under a moon sliver.
The weather was typical for March: sunny, windy, muddy, cold, snowy, grey and more grey.
But in the end, we had one of our best lambing seasons yet: 28 lambs from 14 ewes, and very little drama.
Not bad for early March.
I don't usually lamb this early, but I had a sheepdog trial scheduled for the third week of March, and wanted lambing season wrapped up before I hit the road.
The sheepdog trial was postponed.
Lambing season went on.
Now that it is over, I'll be cleaning out the barn and enjoying hours of lamb TV--and hopefully taking lots of photos and videos, because that's one of the best parts of lambing season.
