The birth rush of sheep has started again this year!<\/p>\n

The top batter gave birth on January 9th.
\nIn the morning, when I went to the entrance of the hut, I heard the cry of an adult sheep.
\nI heard a high-pitched voice saying "Eh ~ \u2191".<\/p>\n

A little smaller but energetic twin girls were born (^ o ^)<\/p>\n

\u2193 Just born and still unreliable
\"\"<\/p>\n

Newly born lambs are moved to a private room with their mother sheep and warmed up with a heat lamp.
\nAfter that, check whether the mother sheep is in good health, whether the milk is produced properly, and whether the lambs are drinking milk properly.<\/p>\n

\u2193Some babies are born very small.
\"\"<\/p>\n

I weighed the lambs the next day, and when they grew to about twice their average birth weight,
\nOpen to a large room with the mother sheep.<\/p>\n

\u2193The first twins to be born, their bodies and attitudes are growing quickly (laughs)
\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2193There are adult sheep other than the mother in the herd, so the mother is wrong (laughs).
\"\"<\/p>\n

About 20 lambs have already been born this year.
\nI feel like there are a lot of twins and girls this year.
\nI had a baby on a very cold day the other day... it doesn't seem to matter if it's cold.<\/p>\n

Up to now, less than 20% of the mother sheep who are due to give birth have yet given birth.
\nThe baby rush will continue.<\/p>\n

Every day I take care of her, praying that both mother and child will be born safely and grow up healthy.<\/p>\n

I succeeded in shooting the birth scene for the first time!
\nI'm impressed by the hard work of the mother sheep (\u00b4\uff1b\u03c9\uff1b`)
\nIf you are interested, please take a look!<\/p>\n
