Valais at Running Rings Ranch of Texas

Don’t worry mama, I promise I’ll give this precious little girl back!

2 F1 lambs born sometime this morning, not sure what time but they were on the ground at 8am. Since we didn’t see it happen we weren’t sure who the mama was because the lambs were trying to nurse on all the girls. As you can imagine, when we found mama we had some trouble but both lambs are nursing well with the head gate in place. A headgate is essential for shepherds that do not want bottle lambs. Lambs nurtured by mama are healthier and that what we want.
