I wanted the black one to be a ewe so bad
But of course he is a ram.
Gonna be hard to sell that one once weaned. :(
The little brown and white ewe we will keep until we get a better idea of how she is maturing.
Second one came out ! I'm pretty sure the black one is a ram and the white and brown one is a ewe. They are both nursing well, and maple is being SUCH a good momma.
Well we are on lamb watch for our one Ewe, the picture doesn't do her justice, the size of her udder has increased quite a bit from this picture, and her stomach has gotten much bigger. But still no lamb yet :(
