Your lambs are so cute!

I've only witnessed a couple ewes lose their lambs. They look at me, baaaaaaaa, and then go to where they last saw their baby. Then they baaaa and run around in circles until they find their lost baby while trying not to lose their other one!!! hahahaha

And Izzy has a beautiful udder!!! I wish my sheep's udders looked like that lol

My ewes look at me like I am the reason their kids are so naughty. Ours never really lose them but when the baby looses mama and start screaming they run arounds and go find them.

You ARE the reason they're so naughty! I blame my husband on my child's naughtiness ALL the time!

Izzy lambed! I've had my eye on her since yesterday evening and I had last checked on her around 9 this morning. I went out shortly before 1 pm and she was pushing! Shortly thereafter, and with a little help from me, she deliver a 12 lb white ram. The baby is 3/4 Border Leicester 1/4 Romney. Izzy is being a wonderful mother!

Congratulations on that big boy!!!

 

[CocoNUT]

wow!
Congratulations! He's so cute...and Izzy looks like a good momma!

Izzy is great. I knew she was something special the moment I laid eyes on her. She was gorgeous as a lamb and now has a beautiful fleece and is an attentive mother.

New baby....he looks more like a Romney than a Border Leicester at the moment. He needs a name!

Since you have a George, how about Harry or Larry for the newest one?

Or Hairy Larry?

Now I'm sure I've missed this...but do you guys sell your fiber? Or mill it? Process it? All that fiber......aaaaaah the possibilities!
I was looking at lamby's face and all I could think was Roman. Maybe because the word "Romney" was right above it...but still. He is a sweetie pie!
