It’s a good thing we burned brush earlier. Today, the wind is blowing hard, with gusts up to 52 miles per hour. There’s a lot of dust in the air, and it certainly would have been too windy for a fire.
Of course, one of the ewes decided this was a good time to go into labor.
It’s the first lamb of the season: a nice, healthy ram lamb. Here are some photos of Ken watching the lamb. He’s wearing a mask because of the wind and dust.
Several hours later, its twin arrived. He was behind the placenta! Fortunately, he’s out and okay now.
Baaa! (Make the wind stop!)
There’s a lot of dust blowing in from Utah. Fortunately, there was also a nice break in the clouds in the late afternoon.
