Tiffany: Worth the Wait

Tiffany woke us up early this morning with loud baaing.  When we went to the barn and found her laboring, we were thrilled...but still a bit worried.  I was concerned that she might have a difficult birth given that she was so many (five) days past her due date. 

Tiffany had no problems whatsoever.  In fact, she was pretty speedy--especially for a first timer.  She did, however, make quite a racket!  Tiffany gave birth to a single ewe lamb who we've named Galena.  Galena is black with white spots on her face and looks a lot like daddy. 

Tiffany is convinced that she also is the mother of Peat and Zircon.  She continually licked Peat throughout labor, so much that his wee little face was wet.  (Of course, it was his fault as he kept annoying her.)  Twelve hours after giving birth, she is still attempting to lick all the babies.
