Twins and Triplets

Monday night Aster had a lovely set of moorit ewe lambs, both with white on their heads.  (Blettet and minor krunet....... I'm watching these girls closely.  Aster will be paired with Bug next year.

Aster X Nantucket (ewe)

Love the rich moorit on this girl.

The camera flash washed her out a bit, but Aster was making it tough to get shots.

Maggie had triplets and there's not a small one in the bunch.  Poor gal is such a wonderful mom, and she had them all cleaned up and nursing when I staggered out at 6:30 am to do chores.  Our gander, Ozzie, was doing a fine job of "grooming" the ewe lamb when we got outside.  (it was so amusing)  Two fine rams with minor krunet markings and 1 blettet ewe.  All moorit.

And...............since I got a few shots of earlier lambs that are a bit better, I decided I had to post them.  Are you sick of lamb pictures yet?

  2. Are you planning on selling any of your ewes this year? I love the markings on the little ewe lamb out of Abby. Fleeces are great looking also.

  3. @ Voni: Once they are evaluated, some of them will be for sale. Are you looking for registered stock?

He who angers you, controls you.

And my favorite.......You can't control what others say or do, but you can control your reaction.
