How is ewe 83? Any idea how she injured her leg?

She's moving the leg from the shoulder, but isn't keen on using it to actually walk with it, but she has a couple times that I've seen. She's oddly faster than most of the other lambs on 3 legs...

When it's too hot to hold your own head up

10ft isn't long enough for the lambs...lol

The wool on Guinevere's lambs is so odd. It's open, not as much lanolin in it, just strange and unlike all other Babydolls that I've felt and seen. Both are rams, so I can't keep one to see how it develops. And their sire, WoolyBully, was sold, so I can't repeat the cross. The others sired by him have normal wool, so maybe its Guin & Wooly combined that makes the odd fiber. Her other lambs, from previous owner, are normal. Hmm

 

[secuono]

All but 3 lambs.

Especially in this wether, you can see how his fiber is very different from the others.

Oh, how could I of forgotten!
Piccolo is from half siblings, WoolyBully. She seemed to have a real open coat, too. But it didn't seem odd after rain.
She hasn't grown much new fleece yet, so I'll have to keep up with it.

Some weaned late, others right at 8wks. You'd think it helps, but doesn't seem to.
Need to pull Vanilla's twins as soon as I can catch them.

Everyone except Vanilla's twins were dewormed & weighed today.
