I'm hoping she stayed put overnight.<br /><br />I hope you'll write about the whole process.I can't get my head around it, it must be SO different than our market lamb shows. Will y'all need to feed the babies the whole time? Show them with their bottles? How big are they when you show? Maybe I should do some internet research.<br /><br />I have seen stories about the weather out your way. UGH Can't imagine trying to start the lamb project in the bitter cold and snow. That's how I end up with lambs in the house. LOL Actually, the weather would have me whimpering under the covers somewhere. Come on Spring!<br /><br />Best of luck to you (and Adam)!
