It's not a big flock in any given year, but most years we get a few
lambs from our small handful of ewes. The first little one arrived
tonight. (Why do they do this on the really cold nights?)

I learned quite a while back that sheep tend to deliver on sudden drops in
temperature. Once, in CT, we had a 20 degree drop on Christmas morning, and
I had to oversee the delivery of 5 of the little guys, all the while trying
to get Christmas dinner together.
