Early lambing continues on the farm, as we had a wonderful early-morning suprise in the barn at chore time:
The lamb is a singleton, and she is HUGE. By the time I arrived, she'd been on her feet and licked nearly dry. She's the first lamb ever born to this particular mother (a name for whom we have yet to decide on), who was herself born very late in the spring of 2010. Last year was a little too early for her to lamb, so she seems to have "saved it up" and given us a really nice little girl now.
I managed to catch this shot of the three generations:
Mom is nearest, nuzzling her lamb. Grand-damme Biancha is in the background, chewing cud.
