My after supper barn check found Mayzie in the barn in hard labor. And two other ewes hiding out in the old barn foundation - I decided to keep my eye on those two girls since a lot of times ewes try to find a place to hide or be alone to have their lambs. Mayzie had her first lamb - a large black mouflon ewe lamb and I brought them into a jug and thought she might have another lamb. I checked Pansy and Honey several times before dark and didnt see anything going on so I decided to leave them out for the night. I went into the house  for about a half hour and then went out to check Mayzie again. She did end up with only a single - no twins. I flashed my light down into the barn foundation one more time at 11pm. My beam of light caught both ewes nickering and licking off a little mouflon lamb. I knew at first glance from the lambs markings that it had to be Honey's lamb but Pansy had started labor too and she was convinced it was her lamb already born. My husband Scott helped me carry the lamb up to the barn with both girls right on my heals wanting their baby. I was able to get Honey in the jug with her lamb - she looked relieved but Pansy was still frantically carrying on wanting what she thought was her lamb for another 10 minutes until her first lamb finally arrived. Scott told me I should play King Solomon and tell them I was going to cut the baby in half - grin - then the real mom would give up the baby to save it and I would know who the real mom was. Honey had a moorit mouflon ewe lamb and Pansy had two solid moorit lambs - one ewe and one ram. Mayzie's ewe lamb I am keeping here on the farm.
