There's quite a few different lambing styles in our shed. We have:
1. I'M HAVING A BABY! I'M HAVING A BABY (you'd be forgiven for thinking they're having an elephant judging by the performance) and this is usually followed by, I'VE HAD A BABY, LOOK AT MY BABYYYY...

Then there's number 2. Achooo, did I feel something then? Must have been my imagination? Oooh what's this white thing. Where did you come from?
Two scenarios arise from this: a) mum likes the white thing or b)mum is terrified by the white thing and proceeds to leg it.

Then we have the old timers in at number 3. Silently get on with the job, lick the lamb clean, proceed as normal, cos we are pros and we know what we're doing. We will follow our lamb and carry out our parenting impeccably.

And 4. Is the lamb mad mums. They're convinced they've had their lambs and start trying to steal the lambs from the other mums cos they're convinced they're theirs. They absolutely love their own lambs when they have them but love everyone else's too until then...

Oh Farmer has reminded me of another one or two:
5. The reluctant mum. No she's not reluctant to be a mum, but its warm and dry in the shed and outside is horrible, so she's going to keep squeezing her legs crossed so the lamb stays put and so does she.

6. The one who likes to make you think she's in lamb; she's getting fat because shes gorged herself stupid and she knows how to make all the right noises. She will even go as far as looking like she's about to lamb but at the last minute will go "Sucker". She's why we scan.

Linda has lambed. Linda didn't want me to help so we had a bit of exercise together. Linda also headbutted every pen that had a lamb in it because it wasnt HER lamb. Linda is no 7. I hate everyone and everything but MY lambs.
