Welcome lamb babies!
| Some of our 11 ewes have given birth to 12 lambs thus far, and we are awaiting one more to give birth. Our babies are staying warm in the barn until they are old enough to go outside, so you will have to wait until spring to visit them. Volunteers from 4H and FFA have also helped with lambs care. |
