[Jacob-list] Interesting lamb

[Linda]

They sure do!  Mine will run along a tier and then jump off one at a time - spending 
some time about 5 feet off the ground on their way down. 

I don't have any lambs yet this year - probably next week - but some of my ewes are 
having in utero lamb races!  Sunshine kinda lumbers around and she's almost being 
pulled to one side by her active lamb.  It always amazes me to see a heavily 
pregnant ewe laying down, lazily chewing her cud, while her entire belly jumps up 
and down as the lambs kick.
