First lambs of the season have arrived!

One katahdin ram lamb and one east friesian ewe lamb. The grazing pattern with the katahdins is shaping up to put them in the perfect position for when the majority of the ewes have their lambs. The strength of the newborns always amazes me.

First milking of the season of East Friesian Dairy Sheep

We were caught off guard by this ewe having her lamb so we didn't have our milking setup dialed in yet. This is our first season in which we already have all the equipment necessary to milk the dairy sheep along with a little experience from last year. We wanted to start milking immediately to encourage maximum milk production so we grabbed a container and started milking.

Milking East Friesian Dairy Sheep

Getting things in order at our milking stanchion. The sheep are still uncomfortable with it so we brought the lamb over to help calm the sheep down.

Took the time to trim the hooves too. They were in a pretty wet paddock over the winter so the hooves needed some attention.

Getting the hang of milking. There is definitely a learning curve and I'm sure things would move much more quickly if we had a mentor near by to show us thier technique.

All in all, another step forward in our sovereign dairy production.
