Sunday. We were up early as usual. The dogs were fed and Emily had her bottle. Donny and Dusty left to pick up silage and run some errands. It was raining a bit but not enough to really wet the ground.

We spent most of the day just resting until it was time to feed. When we went to feed, we found that one of the Nigerians, Sasha had delivered a little boy. He was up and running around. We put her in with Cecily, Shelly and their babies. We keep getting these little surprises all along. It has been an unusual year for lambing and kidding. The black ewe that had her baby on Friday was feeling poorly so we put her on antibiotics. She seemed better today. Her lamb did not really want the bottle we offered so hopefully she is getting enough milk to fill her up.
