Pretty girl! What are you going to name her?

Haven't started assigning names yet. I haven't even let the first lambs out the barn. It's an issue I had last year, too. Weirdly afraid to let them out, made worse this year by all the rain & extra fencing.


I need to find the list or diagram I believe I made to see if Patchie's lamb is one that I was hoping to keep. Would be nice to keep her, if only because of the interesting facial markings.

Okay, found it, posted here back on page 7. Lol, I use these threads sort of like a planning blog. Its been very helpful!

Anywho, have Marley, who is Patchie's daughter. Then have Marley's daughter, Juliana, who doesn't like me much, lol. Juliana's sire is also Billy, like the grey faced lamb's. Hmm, guess that's okay. She should also have better fiber, like Juliana has, because of Billy.
I need to breed Marley & Patchie to dual reg rams this coming season. But...I wanted to breed Patchie to Krillin, to see if his white head is spotting. New spotted ram is arriving soon, may use him instead, but I still have to find out if his solid lambs could be Open Registered into NABSSAR or not. Would be nice if so.

Cute babies! I saw that there’s a marking on some of the lamb coats. Do you have a system to identify lambs with the coats?

Side note: love the yellow cat!

Still no new lambs.
C'mon ladies, don't overbake them!


Snow/rain tomorrow, ugh. But then 5 days of sunlight, yay! So, I'll let out the 3 moms n& their lambs Saturday.

Sugar twins won't go out, need to be treated for raspy breathing.
