Lambing Season in Northern Utah

Moms waiting for lambs any day
Our lambs are due starting March 22nd. Watch for the new arrivals! Moms are getting heavy with lambs and are on their new short term diet of whole corn and barley in addition to their alfalfa and grass hay. This is to prevent ketosis, a very life threatening disease in pregnant ewes. Because the dairy sheep are very prolific lambers, often having not only twins, but triplets and quads, they need extra energy the last month of gestation. They are so full of babies they cannot eat enough hay or alfalfa to sustain the lamb growth and themselves! The grains add that energy and get them thru to birthing or lambing as we call it.
We want healthy mother ewes and healthy baby lambs. Pictures will be added as the new arrivals are born. happy lambing season to all!
