Well actually it has been four girls and one boy and likely at least that many more on the way. So far things have gone pretty smoothly for rookie sheep farmers. We are hopeful the trend continues. It has been a little stressful; primarily worrying about the cold weather and not being around if there are any delivery issues. But it seems that Mother Nature does a pretty good job. They are actually up on their feet about 30 minutes after they are born, scampering around by the next day.
