Adorable lambie with the cutest spots!!!!! Congratulations!!!! Just want to cuddle this little sweetie!!!!

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?

Not until beginning of April I start shearing today so I'll be doing a lot of groping trying to see who is for sure pregnant and who is just fat.

4 horns is dominant so Uriah should produce some 4 horned babies for you! Looking through his pedigree it looks like he probably has some fused horned ancestors (one of his paternal grandparents I'm guessing) so I wouldn't be surprised if you had some 2 horned lambs that are genetically 4 horned. Nothing wrong with that, just interesting to me.

Hey Roving, my little guy doesn't have spots on his legs I don't think. Is that a disqualification for registration? Looks like he has all white legs. Just curious.

White legs are totally fine, it's all black legs that are a problem for registration. They're just not supposed to have all white hooves I think.

The standard is online here and if you join JSBA they should send you a nice picture book of the breed standard and what to look for in choosing breeding stock. It's one of the few breed organizations I've joined that has actually sent me a lot of really useful stuff!http://www.jsba.org/standard.htm

Just had Uriah baby #2!!!

Star gave birth this morning, not sure yet if it's a boy or girl. Star is kind of mixed Jacob and something else I think, and while she has 4 horns, they're not very good ones. I don't see any distinctive swirls on its head, so maybe it will be a 4 horn! Star is a weirdo, but she is being a very good mommy!

I'll post pics a little later when he/she is cleaned up.
