Yikes! Temperatures dropping to -5 in the next couple of days

so I'm busy making 4 wool lamb coats for our new little ones. I'm particularly unsure how the smallest little guy is going to do.

Pics taken yesterday:

Photo no. 1 is Latifah's first born, the ram lamb. He's gorgeous, and has quite an attitude.







Here is Latifah's ewe lamb. These two were 6 days old when the photos were taken. She's quite nice, although not set up well here. You can't see, but she came out with brown knees and freckles are starting to appear on her legs, ears and nose. She's very sweet, but crazy curious (like her mother!)









Here is Elizabeth's bigger ram lamb. He's also quite adventurous and appears to have decent conformation (legs may not be entirely straight but not sure yet). He's 36 hours old in this photo.











And last, but not least, is Elizabeth's little guy. He was almost 2 pounds lighter than his bro at birth. Very gentle, and sweet, but sleeping a lot. We were watching him like a hawk yesterday, and he's definitely coming in to his own now. He has a funky brown patch on his right ear; otherwise I believe he's white.

Watching these four careen about the outside pens, doing Lipizanner caprioles, bucking, climbing and racing each other is such fun! They will be frustrated that they are "in" today. Rain, then temperatures dropping, are dangerous conditions for newborn lambs. One or the other is fine, but wet lambs getting cold is a problem. Also supposed to be tagging and tailing today, however we're waiting for a break in the rain.
