Re: [Blackbelly] lamb birth
Thanks for sharing. I just love new life on the farm. That's a nice size lamb. Did you get a weight on it? Ram or ewe? One of my girls gave birth to a 9.4 lbs ewe lamb the day of the parade so now I'm trying to come up with a Chinese name for her. Any ideas are welcomed :) On Mon, Feb 23, 2015 at 9:26 PM, Rick Krach wrote: > I love your pictures, Tiana.
