[Jacob-list] Counting sheep...

[Linda]

My Jacobs don't often need my help but I love the excuse to witness the births.  Our 
first lamb was born on Wednesday.  PW Lorraine sure didn't need my help, but was 
polite enough to allow me to spend the time with her. 
The first lamb is a nicely marked ewe, Mork's first lamb!, up and nursing within 
minutes and already racing herself through the pasture.  Hopefully, there will be 
siblings to join her soon.
It really is the time of year when I am reminded just why (and how much) I enjoy 
these sheep!
