Iron Water Ranch knows that lambs are adorable, but they are absolutely terrible at basketball, so you have a chance to judge them in their strong suit which is, of course, CUTENESS! Lamb will be pitted against lamb in a “Sweet 16” bracket to win the “Cutest IWR Lamb 2021!” This online Facebook event (Facebook Iron Water Ranch) begins March 4th at 12:01 AM and culminates on March 20 and 21 with an in-person event in the open-air barn where all of the lambs will be available for hugs, snuggles, and bottle feeding. Tickets for March 20 & 21 must be purchased in advance – visit Iron Water Ranch March Maadness
