Bridgie's Lambing Thread-More Finns

[Bridgemoof]

Oh Coco, no we didn't sell the Finn sheep. There was one lady who was very interested, but she wanted to do a partial trade with a dud horse she had. I'm very anxious to see how many babies they have, considering they are first timers it may not be as many. Leah, the Finn, is due on Tuesday, and so is Beatrix Potter.

Yup, those girls look lilac to me. Star might not be 100% Jacob but she's probably mostly Jacob, especially since I'm not sure other sheep have the lilac gene. She looks like she could pass for simply a poorly bred purebred, not enough to be registered but I don't think anyone would argue that she was a Jacob. Some just have poor horns and funny markings.

Can't wait to see more lambies!

I have one more Jacob due to lamb this month, Fluffy. She is just a year old and a first timer so hope things go well. Then the other 3 or 4 are due in May.

I can't tell yet what is going on on Cloud's head, she'll probably be a 4-horner. Hope they are nice horns!

Had Tunis x Cormo twins this morning!! Both good size. I know at least one is a boy, haven't checked the other yet.

Congrats!!!!

Twins...double the cute and cuddle factor That one on the left looks super long!

I must be a nut...I have to check right away for danglies or no danglies

 

[SheepGirl]

They are so big! Congrats!

They are both boys. Meat Lamb #1 and Meat Lamb #2. I say that now, wait until about 6 months, I'll be crying waaa waaaa noooooo!! I guess I should weigh them, but I'm guessing about 10 pounds each?

So I'm ready to have another lambing explosion this week. All the ewes up in the barnyard are getting close...Beatrix Potter, Fluffy, BonBon, Koala, Leah, Cinnamon... so many lambs! So little room

 

[Bridgemoof]

Okay well yesterday was a terrible day where we lost the lamb trying to pull it and then lost Koala, the ewe. So sad, she was only a year old.

But in other news, no new babies yet but very close! Beatrix Potter and Leah are due today, but they don't quite look like they're ready. Fluffy, BonBon and Cinnamon are ready to go, too. Also, the skinny Tunis was acting strange today and not eating much, so maybe she will go as well. :bun

Also, I have been observing Saturn's horns and now he has FOUR! Cloud still looks like two so far.... those guys are SO cute and have been stotting around all over the place

Hoping all the rest of your lambies arrive safe and sound!!!!

And you have one called BonBon???? That was my highschool nickname...so, I'm totally sure she is going to give you the cutest lambies of all

 

[Bridgemoof]

Oh Bon, she is named after my sis But you know what has been said around this forum about animals named Bon.
BonBon was Koala's best buddy. She seemed sad yesterday and today.
