Border Leicesters this time, twins (a ram and a ewe) born in the early morning, about 4am. They’re up and looking good.
The Borders are a bit more robust than the Blue Faced, and we typically just watch to make sure they’re ok. The Blues often require some help, be it in actual birthing or in making sure the lambs get dry and figure out the whole nursing thing. The Blues are generally not as strong on the mothering instinct either. Selective breeding for speciffic traits is a bitch sometimes...
