Waiting for them to start to pop

[Henarar]

We are waiting for Clare's ewes to start lambing and @farmerclare is getting inpatient, we keep going to see them but the ewes are just sitting around like fat barrels
I suggested squeezing them with the 4 in one anyone tried this ? just kidding
anyone else get fed up waiting but its fine once they get going ?

No.

We were due to start yesterday with 3 bought-in gimmers. Our own ewes could be nearer the 27th.

Give them a curry

I could have done with 4 or 5 extra days waiting as laid up with flu and secondary chest infection since the 14th My little flock started a week early on 20th with triplets, and a great set of twins last night. Feeling a little more organised than I did a few days ago

 

[M-J-G]

Always plenty to do here, either in a work capacity or at a social level, so never found myself waiting around for lambs or calves, they arrive when they arrive.

If rams are fertile lambing usually starts pretty promptly.

Maybe feed them a hot curry... or light a few candles and put on a bit of music to create a romantic atmosphere in the barn to encourage them to engage in a bit of nookie.. if it fails to work on the ewes it might work on @farmerclare and at least distract you both from the waiting, at least for a couple of minutes

Dates wrong with the tup, or are they all coming premature? I'm due the earliest ever this year, but I really don't want to be any sooner.

rogue ram lamb (s)

rogue ram lamb (s)

If my rogue lamb I call womball (castrated but only found one ball) has anything in the hidden one, I could have some crappy lambs born about now... He was keen enough to leave his mates, made it past 2 fences and hid himself within the ewes for an unknown number of days! Hopefully he was just a teaser but he was certainly trying to have some fun when I finally spotted him...

That’s a great start I usually start with somethings a little more disappointing
