2009 has been a mixed bag for us.
This year we had some ram lambs left too late in the pen bring us some black and white surprises, a couple of weird medical tragedies that left us shaking our heads and some stellar displays of motherhood that reign triumphant over it all.
This video captures the combination of motherhood with an assist from the shepherd.
Happy Easter from our family to yours.
If I could wave a magic wand, I would open an Institute of Rural Arts and Sciences to study the mysteries of plants, animals, earth and stars and what they mean to us mere mortals. For now, raising sheep and selling wool will have to do. And if it is fiber or sheep that you desire, visit us at www.greatwool.com.

Absolutely LOVE this video!!! Excellent in every way. Will tweet about this for sure. Best of luck with the rest of them.
Could they BE more adorable?
Nice shepherding, how neat you caught it on film too. Will look for you at Shepherd's Harvest. Jane
Great true life story! So well done. The lambs are darling. I'd be a nervous wreck dealing with this, but thanks for the opportunity to see it happen, with a happy ending! Amazing!
That was a great video. I wonder why the ewe didn't lamb on her own, it looked like the lambs were presenting ok. Too big? We're lambing now too!

Terri and Randy,
Yes they did present properly, but over 2 hours had passed since her water broke and when we went into inspect she was a bit still - thus the assistance.
Good luck!
