    Oh, wow! Thanks for sharing! I'm surprised they don't just keep a database of ewes by ear tag numbers for things like age, etc. Paul looked at me and said "You'd just give them all names, and know them that way!" He knows me well!

    *GASP!* Wow! I am breathless just from LOOKING at these great photos. How amazing for you to actually BE there, and to be the vet on site during lambing season.

    Is the all black one considered "undesirable" and so not used in the future breeding cycles? All those baby lamb faces, oh my, I am so full inside! Even the ewes are very nice looking, lol.

    Thank you, thank you so very much, for thinking of us here on PT, and taking pics for folks like us who don't actually need to see the vet pics, lol.

    Oh My! Thank you so much for sharing all those great photos. I've always lived in the country in North Carolina USA but I have never seen lambs born--have seen calves born. Just terrific! I've always thought little lambs are just precious. Good pics of you and baby lamb. Thanks for sharing; I really enjoyed your writeup with the photos. I bet you will be a good vet when you complete your studies. The countryside reminded me of the vet series All Creatures Big and Small. Kay in NC

    I really enjoyed this thread. The lambs are so cute and I didn't realize that there were so many different kinds. Thanks for sharing these pictures with us and good luck on your exams and all of your studies too.

    Oh Zara, what a beautiful pictoral!!!! I am so proud of you, girl!!!

    When you said you needed to lend a "hand" to a help deliver a ewe, I started laughing out loud!! I delivered a lamb while visiting my friend's farm in VT. Talk about losing your watch!!!! Messy, but the ending was happy.

    You are going to make one AWESOME veterinarian, Zara!! You are passionate about what you do and you are a very smart young lady!!

    Love and hugs from Me and...
