Muffin enjoys a well deserved rest and a proud moment of reflection. So far we have six lambs out of three ewes with three left to lamb, all his doing.

New Life at the Orchard
My blogging is spotty, I know. But I like to tell myself that it's because I am so busy. Whatever the reason, sometimes you just have to post something.
Very early this morning I was blessed with the opportunity to act as midwife to Eclair as she delivered the first of her triplets after a very long night in mid-labor. She wasn't our first to lamb this season, but the first I actually got to observe.
I am posting a a short video of the first moments after he arrived and the bonding that transpires immediately. You can hear her chortling to him and see the steam coming off of his warm little body. It's truly magical.
She took a long time to deliver the other two, and didn't act like she was still in labor, so we missed the other two births. Our first triplets from our flock!
