Found another single by the feed bunks when I checked on the triplets. Now we wait and see if she has another one. Choosing a 'good' time of the year is a challenge in our country. Some years, spring weather is more severe than winters, with wet snow and winds. Lambing earlier, allows one to miss some of the muddy conditions that also occur in the spring and allows ewes to lamb in relatively insect free conditions. We work with what we have and some years are better than others.

Found a single, set of twins, and a set of triplets at the 5:00am check. Headed back out to check on the triplets. Temperature has remained at or above freezing most of the night.

They often sleep together, but not sure after the ewe lambs become moms themselves.
-
None of ours go to 4H or FFA students, as our breeds are not the kind the judges are looking for in the show ring.

Several lambs were born, and my wife took a few photos this afternoon. The first one is of a ewe and her last years lamb, and the next two are of ewes and their lambs born last night and today.

No, it is out close to the intersection of Main Street and Haynes Avenue, several blocks from the web cam.

They just opened a small dialysis center in Miles City. Before that, folks in town and the surrounding area had to travel the 150 miles to Billings.

I've been doing that since 2006.

I agree, but we don't live there.

Nice, I like the full zipper and long sleeves.

How's the new position working out? Better than the old one, I hope.

No way to compare, as I've not been to either Vancouver or Toronto. Skirting most cities on bypass highways is best for me.

I haven't even put our Ducks Unlimited stickers on any of the vehicles. I have in the past had some bumper stickers promoting sheep and goats.

Use a long straw.

I try not to think about a town of 1.3 million people. I did not enjoy driving through your town on the way to and from the Canadian Rockies. Our town of 9,000 people with fewer amenities is just fine for us. Enjoy!!

Yep, he still has not answered the question.

All depends upon your choices. We don't all live in touristy places.

We normally shopped at Lucky's when we were in Billings. That was my wife's go to place for gummy bears. We still have a local Pizza Hut, but KMart has been gone for a long time. ACE hardware is in the old KMart building. We actually prefer Pizza Hut to some of the local places.

Sometimes I have to trim the eyebrows between haircuts, as I don't like the hairs to get in my line of vision. On a serious note, maybe you should let those nose and ear hairs grow, as they help filter out germs.

There is a lot of feed on grain fields and many visit alfalfa fields, as well as, feed grounds, where producers are feeding cattle and sheep. Some areas in the Yellowstone River stay open all winter due to currents and some warm springs. So, they have everything they need to survive. Goose season ends Wednesday, so they will be able to relax. Actually that was a relatively small group in the photo, in comparison to some that fly over our house and pasture, as they go from fields to the river and return. -
42F with a 6mph South wind, very nice for January.

The fellow I rode and photographed with today, and we hope to take a few more trips. I knew him when he worked at the Experiment Station.
