Video: The Ewe I've Been Waiting For Has Lambed!

The ewe I have been waiting for to have lambs has finally lambed. She is one of our favorite sheep at Ewetopia Farms and she is also one of our oldest ewes. She was so round with lambs that she was almost prolapsing from the pressure of the size of her belly. We thought she would be one of the first to give birth, but she was one of the last in the first group! Come see who it was and see how lambing worked out for her.
