Lambing is done and calving begins

Well, the last pregnant ewe finally had her lambs this morning.  Two healthy girls, named Bulb and Calliope, are the latest bits of cuteness to enter the barn this month.

We’ve also had two calves born in the last week:  Willie (Nelson) and Waylon (Jennings).

And, did I mention that we’ve also tapped 60 trees and are making maple syrup?  Yes, indeed, it sure has been a busy winter here at Codman Farms.

So far we've collected over 50 gallons of sap.

What a Week!

It’s been a busy week here on the farm.  We have seven goat kids that were born on Tuesday and Wednesday.  Add to that three lambs that also were born late Wednesday/early Thursday.  The fun never stops!

What could be cuter?

Lambs are here!

We’ve had three lambs born in the last week here on the farm.  They’re all boys (will be rams) and are named Bobo, Zachie and Sam.  They were all named by young children who were there when these cute, bouncy friends arrived.

Sam and Zachie arrive.

Lambing season is tough on the farmers, as they have to stay up at night, checking the ewes.  We have at least one ewe still pregnant, so the waiting and watching continues.
