I think it must be the ears but your 4 wk olds look so grown up!

What breed is Celia and her lambs? I ask because they look like my girls, and I don't know what breed mine are.

They are Border Leicesters. Can you post a picture of your girls?

I'll try to post a pic Saturday. That's my next off day. I only have my cell, so it may or may not work.

She only had one, but it's a girl so I'm happy! This is the 3rd year in a row that the Shetlands have had ONE boy and the rest were girls. I only have 4 surviving Shetland lambs, but that's ok. I have the 3 (2 girls and a boy) that I need for showing and the 1st spotted girl possibly has a home along with her mother.

Here's the new girl


And now we are done with lambing for the year! We have 23 surviving lambs, 13 girls and 10 boys.

Would you come give my sheep a pep talk about getting their business done nice and speedy like yours. I think this is week nine and we still have at least one that can go.

They look like Katahdins to me.
