Well, here they are the first three lambs of the season! I actually took several pictures but like children they move around so fast and duck and play its hard to get a decent shot. That and the shadows of the barn...
From back to front we have Imogene in the red sweater; Issac in the blue sweater and in the front is Isobel wearing her green sweater. Isobel and Imogene are the twin ewe lambs. And it looks like Isobel is going to be black!
It should be a few more weeks before we begin lambing in earnest with the rest of the flock. The next big event for us is next Wednesday when we'll be shearing. Keep your fingers crossed for decent weather. The lambs were wearing sweaters in this picture because the temperatures had dropped very low and the winds were cold, but it has warmed up the past few days and they no longer need the sweaters.

Oh they are so incredibly cute!!
I hope this milder weather sticks around as we will soon be shearing. Our lambs are due end of March :-)
Awwwww!
Very cute! I love the sweaters. We lost another young ram the other day. We just can't seem to keep a new ram not born on our farm alive. Any suggestions?
Good luck with shearing and I will pray for good weather.
