The vet and I spent a couple hours this morning with the ewes crowded together in a nice warm bunch getting the girls ultrasounded.  The good news is all the girls are bred except Tammy – who I didn’t want bred anyway.  We had difficulty getting readings on many of them, so Hattie is the only one we know is expecting multiple lambs.  On the very last one we happened on an improved technique of laying the ewe down and turning her over.  She became very docile – less movement helps obtain clearer images.  I’m looking forward to just shy of a dozen lambs skipping around the pastures next spring!  My best estimate is 5 off-white and 6 black.  Maybe Fergie has read the rule book since last year… It’s quite possible there will be some bonus babies since 3 of the mature ewes twinned last spring.
