I know I'm so excited about the spotty babies, too! There is nothing cuter than little Jacob lambies. I'm anxious to see if he is gonna be a 2 horn or 4 horn. He's got great markings.
So last year Lily had twins, I'm pretty glad she didn't twin this year because last year her second was rejected by her, thus my bottle baby Lottie was created! I think Lily doesn't have that much milk. As much fun as that was, I have too much on my plate to deal with a bottle baby right now.
Oh! Oh! I'm going to name him Saturn after this snowstorm. That's a great name!
Saturn is a perfect name! Does he have great big swirlies on his head? Usually you can tell the 2 horned newborns right from birth, its the multiple horned ones that are trickier.
His sweet little nose, goodness I can't wait to cuddle spotty baby lambs again!
Looks 2 horned to me, but the little spot under his swirly there makes it look like it might be a fused 4 horn. That's where its technically 4 horns but the horn buds are too close together and the horns grow together and looks like there are just 2. Either way he is just too adorable.
Four horned lambs don't have big swirlies like that. They usually have tiny swirls or nothing obvious at all, so if you have a Jacob lamb that doesn't look like it has horns at all its probably a 4 horn one.
That's really good info to know Roving, thanks! Lily is 2-horned, Uriah is 4-horned. Hope they're not fused. Beastie had that, he was so funny with all these horns sticking out of his head, he looked like the Statue of Liberty.
Won't be long for you now, right Roving? Aren't yours due in March?
