Chocolate surprised me with TWINS! She's always had singles!
And it's a M/F pair! One of them looks to have bits of white, too! And of course....they are black!
Then Lolla lambed! An ewe lamb, shot right out! Also has a touch of white on her! Then Lolla had a ram born! She also has only ever had singles!!
But he is having trouble breathing....=/
So, 4 new BLACK lambs!
Lolla's ewe lamb I am keeping to replace her.
Chocolate's ewe lamb I'll offer for sale, since I'm not selling Billy, so I can repeat the breeding.
Chocolate's lambs are sired by Billy and can be NABSSAR registered. They are codon RR.
Lolla's lambs are sired by Billy and can be NABSSAR registered. They need codon testing though.
Hate that you’ve had so many touch and go issues this year. Will say a prayer for your little ram!
Glad you got a replacement for Lolla though.
Very cute lambs! Making me wonder if I should add some sheep too... DH is going to ban me from BYH for all the ideas (and arguments for those ideas) I get from here!
I can't believe how many black lambs I've had born this year! Out of 17 lambs born in total so far, only one was white.
6 ewes, 11 rams. 2 ewe losses and 1 ram loss, which might creep up to 2, if Lolla's ram doesn't get up soon....
Three mature ewes left to lamb! Surry seems like she might go soon, she's isolated herself some, but still pigging out and no sunken sides yet. (Yesterday, Chocolate looked like she would lamb the next day, she did). Marshmallow & Latte don't really look close yet. Marsh & Surry are my last hopes for white lambs and I really hope they are ewes to boot.
