Fletcher Jolie delivered twin ewe lambs late last night, one moorit and the other black. For now they both look like they may not be Ag.

Current Lamb Statistics: 10 ewe lambs and 4 ram lambs!

Grey or Musket Katmoget (Ag) Ram Lamb
Kimberwood Mystri X Kimberwood Chance

This little guy was here to greet me this morning on my first ewe check of the day. Mystri is a first time mom, delivered him and took care of him all without a problem. I've ended up with bottle lambs before because a first time mom didn't know to take care of her lamb. I'm not sure yet if he is brown based or black based. He almost looks a musket rather than a grey katmoget in the daylight.

This little guy is #12 for us so that makes it 8 ewe lambs to 4 ram lambs.

This little doll was born this morning to Virginia. At least I'm pretty sure Virginia is her mom! Once again I'll have to confirm this with Maureen... ;-)

As of this morning, we've had 7 ewes lamb so far out of about 25 or so that were bred. The girls are ahead 8 to 3!

Twins from BluffCountry Glitter!

Well last night Glitter finally lambed. Boy was she huge! She gave us twin Shetland Mules, both ewes! One of them is much larger than the other and the other is not a small lamb!

You can tell the size difference here:

Here is the smaller of the two:

And, here is the moose!

Both are Ag grey and rather striking I think! I did help Glitter a bit with this one. Thankfully she delivered the smaller one first.

V Creek Rosebud's Ewe Lamb

Black Ewe Lamb
V Creek Rosebud X Kimberwood Chance

This ewe actually lambed last Saturday but it took me awhile to figure out who she is! I believe she is V Creek Rosebud. You see I purchased 4 black ewes from Maureen Koch last year and have had a hard time telling some of them apart. Their tags do not match what is on their papers and I haven't yet found the health certificate that came with them (it had their correct tag numbers on it). Next time I talk to Maureen I'm hoping to confirm it!
