Good morning Arnie and Lynn. So glad you were able to get the ewe to take that triplet. Yay. Boy the work is really amped up during lambing. Mama time for a pedicure and then out to the family pen with more room and lamb playmates. I have to laugh when Arnie tells the sheep to shut up which of course she doesn’t. 😂😂😂. That little ewe lamb was telling brother to follow her to mom. Awww mama we know how you feel. But I want to get up Arnie and you keep pushing me down. 😂😂😂. Mama says this birthing thing is rough. That is really a beauty of a Dorset lamb. Gorgeous. Beautiful lambs. Arnie spectacular job. Lucky mama to have you guys. Blessings and big big hugs to you both. Lynn you are very cute with your red pigtails. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😉😉😉❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The twins that were born this morning, I noticed the one drinking from Mom, their feet are knuckling over. I love your channel and adore the way you care for your sheep. My new favorite. Thanks for all you two do and share. ❤🐑❤🐑❤🐑❤

[@justinanovak8040]

Yep noticed the same thing about the little lamb and her front feet.

[@EwetopiaFarms]

@lowearthorbitinaugust yes, knuckling over is quite common and usually rights itself in a few days. If not, we will tape it up, but 9 times out of 10, the tendons stretch, and they walk normally. But good eye!😁🥰🥰🥰

[@lowearthorbitinaugust]

​@@EwetopiaFarmsI absolutely adore watching you both. Like I said, my new favorite channel ❤. The way you care for your sheep is amazing. ❤🐑

[@justinanovak8040]

@scootytamra Yes, he is burning our quickly. You can't imagine how things are starting to ramp up in the lambing barn. Way too busy for just the two of us!😴🥰🥰

[@scootytamra]

Arnie is such a good shepherd and teacher that it's fun to watch. You both bring something special every day. Thank you so much for sharing such an awesome video and have a great Monday! ❤🐑

[@EwetopiaFarms]

@jessicacarstairs7520 Thanks Jessica 🥰 🥰🥰🥰

[@Joyce-bg1jh]

So many sweet little lambs!You're so busy lambing it's a wonder you can get your chores done or even take care of yourself.Everthing looks fine though so I hope you guys stay warm.❤️🐑

[@EwetopiaFarms]

@@Joyce-bg1jh it's getting tougher as the days go on. Be sure to stay tuned!🙂🥰🥰

[@HorseMalone]

Gosh doesn't look like a nice day at all, stay warm and safe !

[@lenasdragons2839]

Looks so cold there, Lynn. It’s been below 0’s here, too. It’s miserable. Getting more beautiful healthy lambs, really enjoying your lambing season so far. Arnies looking tired already, such a busy time. Hopeful that you both get rested between birthing and chores. Thank you for this video.

[@EwetopiaFarms]

@lenasdragons2839 i don't know how Arnie does day and night shift. It is hard to find any time off these days for either of us and the brutal cold sure doesn't help!🙂🥰🥰

[@cindyboard7816]

I'm always excited for Chewy to deliver!❤ The little Dorset ewe lamb is a beauty! She is so well proportioned, stocky and just a gorgeous little lady. I hope Arnie has been able to catch a nap during the day when his nights seem unending. Thanks so much for sharing with us! Stay safe!!🙏❤🇺🇸

[@EwetopiaFarms]

@cindyboard7816 The days are getting busier and busier as the days go on. Very little time for rest these days!❤️🇨🇦

So cute the little dorset lamb that immediately went over to check out the lamb mat when it was moved to the big pen.

[@jeancox4235]

What a enjoyable video. Thank you.

[@EwetopiaFarms]

@@jeancox4235 You're welcome!🙂

[@julieridge9161]

Arnie is so patient with the sheep, he gives them space to make them feel comfortable. He knows your sheep and it's so comforting to see how your animals are so well cared for. We have been seeing the busy night shift in this video, hope Arnie is able to get enough rest. Stay warm! ❤

[@EwetopiaFarms]

@julieridge9161 Unfortunately, our sheep seem to prefer lambing at night, so Arnie is definitely getting exhausted!😴🙂

[@lowearthorbitinaugust]

I enjoy watching your channel so very much❤🐑

[@EwetopiaFarms]

@@lowearthorbitinaugust I'm glad. Thank you 😊

@paulsims6888 you're welcome! Glad you joined us!🙂

[@debwoods6011]

Great work you two. Your animals are the best I see..... see you tomorrow

[@Mary-F]

A night full of birthings! Beautiful little ones arriving.🐑❤️ The Suffolk twins are stunners, and mom was really attentive. A little shy of Arnie at first but then she warmed up to him. 🥰 I noticed the wee Dorset with knuckled over hooves as well. Will you tape them straight or let her work it out on her own? 😊 Awesome there are no bottle babies so far! I’m still keeping fingers crossed for the adoption. I know you guys keep those in the jugs a few days longer just to ensure the bonding. 💛 Love how you both give so much info about the sheep as you video. When you say the Xd ewe will have another lamb did you mean she still has another to birth? Can’t wait to see if Tuni lambed! 💛

[@justinanovak8040]

Yeh I noticed lambs feet too. Agree this is the best sheep channel… I stopped watching the other channels.

[@Mary-F]

@ It is definitely the best sheep channel. A couple other shepherds could certainly learn a few tips from Lynn and Arnie and save themselves some lamb and ewe deaths. Then again, everyone has their own way of farming. 🙂

[@EwetopiaFarms]

@@Mary-F we will wait and see about the knuckled over lamb. They usually fix themselves. Only rarely have we ever had to intervene. The Xd ewe will get a year off now but will stay to breed again next year.🥰🥰

[@debbiesue4287]

❤❤!

[@kala6576]

Will the ewe with the red X get moved to the replacement ewe pen to be on the maintenance ration?

[@EwetopiaFarms]

@kala6576 yes!🙂

[@MartinRath-e4x]

What is the first milk you give the lambs when they are born? Do you buy colosturm powder in Canada?

[@EwetopiaFarms]

@@MartinRath-e4x It is colostrum powder from a Canadian company called Grober Nutrition

[@ExploreDrass]

Suggest the way and technique of getting twins from sheep 🐑 Also rearing sheep from 5 years but did not got twins till date. Plzzz ….. And the breed im rearing is Merino

[@EwetopiaFarms]

@@ExploreDrass not all breeds have twins. To get more twins naturally, they must be fed well, be in good condition, and be from a breed that averages twins or close to twins. Otherwise, you can use hormones to encourage more eggs being dropped.

[@محمدفرقانبنألطاف]

How many sheep can I raise on an acre of pasture

[@marycomeau9364]

Good question😁

[@marycomeau9364]

💗💗💗

[@EwetopiaFarms]

@محمدفرقانبنألطاف that depends on the size of your sheep and the quality of your pasture. u

[@marycomeau9364]

@@EwetopiaFarms I was going to say that but I only have sheep vicariously through Ewetopia Farms and Sandi Brock @sheepishlyme so I waited💗💗💗

[@jocastaguyon6857]

Wow, great film at the end of the ewe with the white nose giving birth and then licking her lamb… she’s such a sweetie.

[@scootytamra]

I wonder if Tuni will have a lamb that looks like her again? And i wonder if it will be a girl?
