Second East Friesian Dairy Ewe's Lambs are born. Twins!

Now that both of the dairy sheep have their lambs we will be milking both daily.

Tried putting the lamb in a tote to keep it contained and close to it's mom so she would remain calm during milking.

It's getting easier each day and I'm sure we will have the hang of it in no time. Milking around 3 pints each time from this ewe.

First day milking both East Friesian dairy sheep

Both lambs came along to keep mama ewe comfortable while we milked her for the first time.

Unfortunately, one side of her utter wasn't allowing milk to flow well and put out some clumpy discharge. This ewe's utter had an infection last season so we are pretty sure this issue is related. We will try again tomorrow and continue to observe.
