Just Born Minutes Ago

While staying in the Westfjord region of Iceland, I had an opportunity to spend several hours at a sheep farm during lambing season( late May).  It was a nonstop delivery barn for sheep.  This was a good sized farm.  At least 10 sheep were in labor at any one time and this had been going on nonstop for 3 days.  That means little sleep and grab a snack when you can.  Extended families had all gathered to help with the deliveries.  Yes, the sheep do it mostly on their own but the farmers need to be there to help with the occasional breach birth.  For the sheep farmer, this is the most important time of the year.  And despite the incredible sense of urgency amongst the farmers, the mother sheep giving birth were perhaps the most calm.
