Ingrid's 2 year old daughter, Freyja, lambed this morning. She had a gorgeous black katmoget ram lamb. He is even spotted. You can't really tell due to his pattern, but he has some spotting on his ears and a nice white spot on his scrotum.

The Shetland's have a separate name theme from the "big" lambs. I'm using instruments for them. The new baby is Tuba (because he's a fatty at 6lbs).





This is Freyja's first lambing and she is in love with Tuba!

So sorry about your ewe and lambs. That must be very sad. The new baby is adorable though.

Fae lambed this morning right before I went to work. I had to pull them as they were trying to come out at the same time. Of course they are both boys. I NEED a couple girls. I think this is payback for the 3 years of mostly girls I've gotten from my Shetlands (seriously, the last three years I've gotten ONE boy a year and the rest were girls).

One ewe to go. Pray she has at least one girl (I'm not holding my breath though). I really, really want a girl from her. She's one of my favorites and she's being retired this year. I don't have any daughters of hers (although I do have a granddaughter and a great-granddaughter).

Thinking pink for you - a girl named Flute

Thanks for thinking pink....I kind of already have a girl named Flute (from last year) though.
