A Lamb Outing

Nora will post more photos later today or tomorrow, but last night we visited some new-born lambs. Sandy, our shearer, has down-sized her flock recently (she had 120 not too long ago, but is down to about 20 right now), but still has 10 or so ewes ready to lamb.  The first ewe delivered a couple of days ago - two beautiful, baby boys.  Nora and I went over to Sandy's farm last night for a visit.

Nora's first experience with lamb holding; she's a natural :)  Apologies for the shadowy shot, but we couldn't move far to get out of the setting sun; mom was standing nearby and not terribly happy with these strangers picking up her kid.
