00:05So we had our first ewe lamb of the season, and she had six babies, which was way more than
00:15we've
00:15ever had before. Numbers three and four were literally like the same push, and then I thought
00:23we were done. And then after about 10 more minutes, she lay down again, and I was like, oh my
00:28gosh,
00:28I think she's gonna have another one. And sure enough, like a couple minutes after that, she had
00:33number five. So I was certain that we were well and truly done at that point. Got them all into
00:39the barn
00:40and was kind of working on just making sure they were all getting really dry, and she lay down again.
00:46And I was thinking, I was like, it's a little early for her to be delivering the placenta,
00:50but she had number six. They're so sweet. It's like therapy, just like sitting out here and
00:56and spending time with them. And they're just such wonderful animals. The six of them will just
01:04like frolic all around, and they lay in a big heap together at night. And yeah, they're just,
01:12they're doing so great.
