Where Are the Lambs?

Well, the first week in March has come and gone, and no lambs yet. Not to worry; lambing season is supposed to stretch from March through April. Piper looks like she is about to bust at the seams. She had twins last year at her previous farm, so perhaps we're in for twins again this year! Gazelle is looking chubbier than the rams or the wethers, but not nearly so fat as Piper. Either she's not pregnant, or she's less pregnant than Piper, or she's only got one lamb and Piper has two or three. I'm new at this, so it's hard to say! I only hope the presence of my coonhounds keeps the coyotes far away from our farm this year!
