Fall Lambing Underway

Getting Ready for Lambing Season
Ewes should be having their lambs in two or three weeks, specific date based on when rams were put in is August 27, 2023. Today Jackie and I processed through all 130 ewes, checking their eye color and deworming those that needed it, giving the CD-T booster vaccination so the lambs will have some initial protection at birth from clostridia diseases, and applying a unique color barcode to each ewe. Since we lamb in the pasture, depending on the ewe, it is sometimes difficult to get close enough to identify the ewe without disrupting the new mom and new lambs. With the barcode, we can identify the ewe at a distance and only come close if we need to help the ewe for some reason. In the above photo, Odin led the ewes up to the top of the alleyway after they were released from the working facility. Odin will stay with the ewes during lambing to provide protection against coyotes. In the following photo, the ewes have moved into the middle field where they will graze for another few days until moving on to a fresh field.
