First Lamb
Well, so Michelle is in the lead with the guess of
“Cecilia will have a ewe lamb between 1:00 and 5:00 a.m. on March 10, followed by twins from Agnes by midnight that night”
Michelle has the closest day, the correct sex, and she nailed the time. BUT she has re - guessed. So Michelle, you have only the day off, so you have a correctness score of 80% You can keep your guess with Cecilia, or choose your guess with Mist. Tammy, you may guess again if you like. Your current guess is 60% correct. (I assume you meant that Cecilia would also lamb in the early morning.) Once you are out of the running, you can always guess again, that will make it even more fun.
This isn’t quite how I planned to choose the winner, so you can edit your guess as you like to reflect this change. If you get the sex and time right, that’s pretty good, so I don’t want it to not count. So you get 20% for each correct part, ewe, day, time, number, and sex.
But I guess you want pictures right?

This is Tatiana, named in honor of St Tatiana
We will call her Tawty for short. This years theme is Martyrs. This tells us the sire, and year they were born. We choose a type of Saint each year and so we can sort of track our pedigrees off paper, just by names.

It was an easy birth, I worry about the new Moms, they can be so ditzy sometimes. Cecilia did a great job though, excepting that she didn’t understand the lamb could nurse from BOTH sides, not just one. So everyone is cared for, and temorarily housed, and when Beau gets home we will get things sorted out better.

Everything normal and doing fine! Now, Agnes, Lucy and Monkey are next.

Well, I’m not a big risk-taker, so I guess I’ll stick with my 80%-correct guess. And thanks for giving me the formula to place the contest I’m running on my ewes at Boulderneigh! Have you entered?
