Blizzard of Babies: Sequoia, Acacia, & Theresa

On Wednesday, there was even more snow, and of course, there were more lambs.

Sheep in the snow on Thursday.

Sequoia started things off late Wednesday afternoon. She had twins: a black ewe with white spots on her head and a solid black ram.  We've named them Aurora and Eclipse.

Acacia really annoyed Sequoia when she was lambing, and we soon found out why.  About an hour later, we were headed back out to the barn.  Acacia had twin ewes.  Both are black gulmoget.  Dusk is a little bigger and has a few more white spots on her head.  Evening is a little smaller.

Thursday afternoon, Theresa lambed.  She's an experienced mom and has always had easy lambings.  She struggled for awhile to push her lambs out, but managed it without any extra help from me.  Theresa's lambs are two big white ram lambs.  We've named them Blizzard and Avalanche. So far, I'm having issues telling them apart!  (Ear tags will solve that problem.)
