In Essex, New York, Kristin Kimball showcases the delights of lambing season on her farm, where she assists newborn lambs and their mothers in bonding. Despite the challenges posed by unseasonably cold temperatures, the season has been fruitful, with Kristin anticipating around 400 births. Visitors find joy and warmth amidst the cold, engaging with the animals and experiencing the unique atmosphere of a farm in early spring, where even the pregnant sheep display a welcoming temperament due to hormonal changes.
"Come on, let's go," she coaxes, guiding the ewe and her newborns into a separate pen where they can bond. "I just want to make sure she has milk and that all the babies are doing okay."
"It's been a bountiful lambing season so far with lots of healthy lambs. Kristin expects 400 births before the work is done."
"The only complication this spring is the unseasonable cold... But so far the lambs have been holding up just fine."
