Finally, Henrietta

Henrietta has been keeping us waiting all week.  Although she was only two days late, which is not out of the ordinary, we had been watching her for days.  She's usually a few days early, and she's needed help before.

Henrietta started baaing around 4:30 AM this morning.  She'd expelled her water bag, and was laboring pretty hard.  We watched her for a while and decided to pull.  The lamb was in a normal position (yay), but seemed to be too large.

And he is large.  Most of the ewes would have struggled with this big guy, and Henrietta is a small ewe.

Henrietta's lamb is a solid black ram.  He looks like a lot like big sis Macadamia.  We've named him Buckthorn. 

I took some pictures of Elsie's, Elvira's, and Peanut's lambs while getting the barn ready for the next due ewes.  I'm going to try to get them on the blog today or early tomorrow, so be sure to check back.
