The 2012 lambs born at the UC Hopland Research & Extension Center were almost all born during the month of January. All of the lambing took place inside the Center's main sheep barn facility, but the ewes and lambs were placed out into various pastures and fields soon after supervised birthing.
Pasture rotation of the ewe/lamb groups has been quicker than normal this year due to the low forage growth this season. Here you see a mother ewe and her lamb foraging in a blue oak savannah type habitat.
