Our first lamb of 2014!

Well here he is! Our first lamb of the year, and of course a black ram! He arrived just before 9:00 p.m. I usually go down around 10:00 p.m. but wanted to get to bed early so went down a bit earlier, good thing! This was one of the coldest nights of the year and when I found him he was almost frozen! The tip of his tail had ice on it! We quickly rushed him to the house and got him warm! In the picture you can see the steam coming off of his head! He was dried, warmed and returned to his very anxious mother, Ophelia to bond with. He is under a heat lamp and we are watching the lamb cam to make sure the bonding goes well.
