Lambing

April 22, 2026 - Reading time: ~1 minute

We are watching our four bred ewes and we expect lambs any day now. Sebastian came onsite about five months ago, so April 15 was the earliest we expected. It’s April 22 … I’m eager to see the lambs.

Last year, I made two major mistakes and we lost a ewe shortly after she birthed our bottle lamb, Maple. I learned that you must NEVER breed a lamb younger than one year old. And you need to carefully introduce sheep back on to fresh grass in the spring.

My name is Daniel and with my wife Sara, we are turning our little 10-acre spot into a place to raise kids and see grandkids, build forts, keep sheep, and build woodworking projects.
