| March 18. We found old "Ma" with her newborn twins up and nursing during last barn check tonight. She had them near the horse barn and we moved them into a lambing pen to keep them dry and warm tonight. The ram lamb is white and weighed 8 lbs. The ewe lamb (also 8 lbs.) is one of the most unusual looking lambs I have ever seen. She's quite stunning and of course, I will be keeping her! Their sire is Kunningison. |

| March 21. M'Dear had her first set of triplets this afternoon. A black ewe (7 1/2 lbs.); a white ewe (8 lbs.) and a moorit ram (7 1/2 lbs.) What a healthy set of babies they are. I was keeping a far eye on her and she had the second two lambs within 20 minutes of each other and as soon as they had nursed she headed outside the barn with them. Since we're expecting snow & sleet over the next few days, I scooped them up and she followed me back into the barn so I could pen them up. Their sire is Lincoln. |

| March 21. Early evening found Felicity delivering twin ram lambs out of Rubus. The white one weighed 9 1/4 lbs. and the black/grey one weighed 8 3/4 lbs. Both rams have huge horn buds already. |
| March 21. While I was processing Felicity's lambs, Lottie was busy on the hillside delivering her twins. A moorit grey ram (6 3/4 lbs.) and a moorit ewe (8 1/2 lbs.) out of Lincoln. I left them alone until they were both nursing and then Fiona helped me move them into the barn. |
