Lots More Lambs Today!

Welcome to Ewetopia Farms, where we document our daily sheep farming journey. In today's vlog, we have an abundance of adorable newborn lambs being born throughout the day. If you enjoy witnessing the miracle of birth and the cuteness of newborn lambs, this video is a must-watch!
But that's not all - we go beyond just showcasing the births. Our aim is to turn every situation into a valuable learning experience for our viewers. In previous videos, we have discussed the issue of constipation in lambs' first bowel movement. Today, we have the opportunity to show you firsthand what happens when a lamb is born yellow. We explain the reasons behind it and shed light on this fascinating phenomenon.
Furthermore, we encounter a common but potentially challenging birth presentation - a lamb being delivered with one leg back. As experienced sheep farmers, we demonstrate how to handle this situation effectively. Our goal is to equip and empower new sheep farmers, ensuring they feel confident when faced with similar circumstances for the first time.
Join us on this educational and heartwarming journey as we share the joys and challenges of sheep farming. Don't forget to hit the subscribe button and stay tuned for more informative content.

Wow, what a busy day of lambing! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@EwetopiaFarms]

It will be getting busier! Stay tuned!😁😉

[@sunsetstella8917]

Another great video

[@Mary-F]

A day full of lovely newborn lambs. Can’t get enough of seeing their first moments in the big world of the barn. Those floppy wet little ears and tender faces. All little snuggles. Thanks Lynn and Arnie. You guys work so very hard. 🥰

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Thanks Mary. Lots more lambs still to come!😁

[@Mary-F]

🥰

[@Denise-zm2zs]

I just love Maisy! She always comes when you call her! You have beautiful baby lambs and I love your channel! So uplifting!❤

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Thank you. Not all days are uplifting unfortunately but things have been going well so far 🙂

[@bohammarberg4072]

Good morning! 🌹🌹🌹🌹

“There’s nothing nice about farming. Gives you a lot of comfort, farming, but things come to an end.” Sad and beautifully said.

[@elizabethswanson7767]

Wow you guys had a very busy day! That's a lot of lamb's! I don't blame Arnie for wanting a rum and coke I would want one too! Lol Lynn are you feeling okay? You look a little tired. I hope all is well. Have a wonderful day and take care! I will see you tomorrow.

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Besides working 12 hours a day, every day, with never a day off, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, high cholesterol, anemia, and old age, I feel just great!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@pathowes32]

Lots and lots of new lambs. Sad about the old ewe, but she left you her replacement❤️

[@karenlewkowitz5858]

Good morning! ❤❤

[@tammykaltreider]

Wasn’t me 🤣🤦‍♀️

[@cindyboard7816]

😂😆

[@cindyboard7816]

Arnie as hard as you guys work, you deserve a refreshing drink in the evening! Lots of gorgeous lambs filling up those jugs!! Thanks for sharing and stay safe!!🙏❤

[@patriciaruppert201]

Good evening busy shepherds. And Alexander says hi. I think he will warm up more. 85 is really a humdinger. He will be fun to see how he does. And Maisey is always the doll. Gosh the boys and girls are being friendly. That is what makes you guys so cool each of you have a job you guys do so well. Boy she shot that milk right out. Awww such sweet babies. That was some noisy kids. Oh Tommy doesn’t want a new guy. There is something so satisfying about fresh hay out. Just like kids to do the opposite of what you want. Love tgewaythose mamas talk to their babies. I bet it is hard to make the decisions of who stays and who goes. But I know that they were loved and well cared for on your farm. Arnie I say enjoy your drink it was well earned by you and Lynn. Big big hugs to you both. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😉😉❤️❤️❤️

[@EwetopiaFarms]

The hardest part is always choosing who stays and who goes. We just hope we can find good homes for the ones that leave 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@patriciaruppert201]

@@EwetopiaFarms I really appreciate all the thought and consideration that goes into those that are chosen. I hope you have a humdinger son of Gladiator. If you do it would be cool to have a picture of the two. I got my shirt today and I love it. Big hugs. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Oh, that's good! You need to send a photo now 😉🥰​@patriciaruppert201

[@debwoods6011]

Glad you got to see the sunset

[@mj3026]

Thank you Lynn & Arnie 😊❤

[@sondragingery5949]

I've been waiting to see how #85 was doing. On the video when he was born he was only moments old and looking like a lamb that was days old. He's really a sharp looking fellow.

[@EwetopiaFarms]

I really like the look of him too. He is one we have our eyes on already 🙂

[@annandrickpettit9045]

The popcorn maneuvers are just so much fun to watch. Don't they love the fresh bedding! What a hoot! I forgot the other day, to admire the completed set of new feeders along the wall. Very functional, and custom made for the space. What a fine bit of craftsmanship! Arnie, you toss off all the welding and designing like it was not a big deal, but those are really nice feeders.

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Thanks. He loves making things. I know it is still work, but for him, doing things like that is his "down time " 🙂

[@pattiepowell8625]

Love all the lambs but the Dorset are so cute. Doing a good job on the videos. Just noticed that Arnie is left handed some say they are smarter. He seems to be he married you. Lol

[@EwetopiaFarms]

No, he is right handed. Sometimes video clips flip so may make him look left-handed. I hadn't noticed before!😃

[@claymonsterpottery]

I always wonder in the moms are actually saying something intelligible to the lambs or if it’s just about voice and bonding.

[@EwetopiaFarms]

I guess we can never really be sure 🤔

[@FulbrightFarmstead]

Your lambs are looking great. That is interesting about the yellow being from meconium, I always thought it was just from the amniotic fluid.

[@MaryDivis-nu1im]

Thank you for a lovely lesson about responsible breeding. You know the type of sheep you want any and more importantly *why* you want it. The results are evident in the quality of the lambs produced. I wish you were closer to where I live so that when my youngest granddaughter is ready for her first 4H lamb we could purchase one of yours! Thanks for another great video!

[@EwetopiaFarms]

We sell lots of 4H lambs. How far away are you?

[@MaryDivis-nu1im]

in northeast Ohio. We're about 1.5 hours south of Cleveland. @@EwetopiaFarms

[@kazholt1]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@JABn4e]

Alexander is looking good. I’m afraid you are collecting more cats than you may want or need 😱 When it’s time to choose the keepers there will be many I imagine. So many good looking lambs at this point. THANK YOU!

[@EwetopiaFarms]

We do not want any more cats. Tommy is working hard at keeping interlopers away 😆

[@scootytamra]

That Texel cross ewe has such a lovely face that had her lamb, i love her face markings.Does she have a name? Bo is a name suggestion?🤔

[@EwetopiaFarms]

No, she doesn't have a name. I find the Texel crosses have such kind faces. Why Bo out of curiosity?🙂

[@scootytamra]

@@EwetopiaFarms I've always liked bo, bo as in bopeep, or because she has two breeds in one it's all wrapped up in a bow! ha ha

[@KS-ip5xn]

🌴 Good morning from Florida. When you tag these lambs and have your reader handy, would you share the parentage of the moms?

[@EwetopiaFarms]

I will try to do that as much as possible

[@LavenderLushLuxury]

How come Lamb's are slower to get up and nurse compared to goat babies? Just wondering I'm really curious 💚💜💙

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Just different creatures I guess. But some lambs are up fast too. Suffolks are slower

[@MelancholyOne]

Watching you carry the Lambs, Lynn you are so little. The Lambs covered you 😮

[@EwetopiaFarms]

5'3" 😁

[@FulbrightFarmstead]

How long do you typically leave them in the jugs? Do you tag and band lambs right away or wait awhile? Thank you!

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Singles 1 day, twins 2, and triplets 3 days if all is going well with them. We tag, band, etc at two days old

[@FulbrightFarmstead]

@@EwetopiaFarms interesting, thank you!

[@LadyLithias]

Maybe the new tomcat should be Monty .... you may name him before the video is over, but I paused when he showed up. :) Also, speaking of names, I was thinking of a few Midas Memnon (short for Agamemnon --- for a Glad Son) Marshal Major Maitre D Mickey MooMoo, Mouse, Midge (names of 3 of my 7 sheep) Minnie Mallorca & Menorca Madagasgar Mabel Mabey Maurice Mimic Manic Mortimor Mayo Makai (my grandson's name, though we've been written off by his mum) MIschief Mayhem Maximum Maximilian Maxine Melly Marjorie Mimi Muumuu Mystic Marmalade (great for the little poopy girl from this video) Margarine Mensa Magnus Magnum Okay..... so that's a few names Sadly this YT channel is blocked at work now. :(

[@annandrickpettit9045]

That's a lot of m names!!! Good job!

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Thanks for the names. We won't name the new stray because I don't think Tommy will be letting him stay!😆

[@LadyLithias]

@@EwetopiaFarms well if he and Tommy settle their differences and the new stray stays.... name him Monty. :) I get it, though. But I'm the kind of person who, as a child, would name the defunct cars permanently parked along my walk home. I name trees, and rocks, and bits of moss. I love naming things! In fact, I got four goats, and today I named all four. (They have registered names).... I decided that Duece (registered name) is really the Boss..... aka Bruce Springsteen... so he's Bruce.... and the other names came quick, Stevie (Nicks), Pat(ty) Benotar (sp?), and the last one... She's Tiny Tina (Turner) And I noticed that seven out of seven of my ewes are showing udder development. Even the one who was born in April, and the one who had lambs in July.

[@EwetopiaFarms]

@LadyLithias awesome news on the udders and we have a similar taste in music if I go by your names 😆

[@alecmorgan8182]

Why don't you guys use the big marwell creep feeder for the lambs? Looks like you use it now for feed storage now

[@EwetopiaFarms]

He blocked the feeder portion off because he didn't like it at all. The lambs were constantly digging in it to get the fresher stuff I guess so we're contaminating the feed.

[@lmei3349]

QUESTION Does mama paw at lambs when she wants them to eat? I noticed mama pawing lamb then licking. I'm still learning and I thought I heard that mama does that (paw at or nudges) when she wants the lamb to eat, and then licks them to encourage nursing. Is that correct?

[@justinanovak8040]

Moms want babies up to nurse, and nursing helps moms pass the after birth.

[@EwetopiaFarms]

They paw at them so they will get up and nurse quickly so predators can't get them

[@lmei3349]

Thank you 😅

[@wadesfarmstead]

Arnie, the sheep only have halves not quarters lol. I know you use to have the milk cows.

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Yes, it is habit!😁
