It is hard to take pictures of lambs when they are on top of you and chewing on your hands/hair/camera.

Daisy's girl


Juniper's girl




Ladyslipper's awkward little boy. If he was a person be wearing overalls and sucking his thumb while tugging on the hem of his mom's shirt.


Aster's girl


Aster's sassypants little boy




Jaffa's boy. He has such a sweet baby face.


Jaffa's boy in front, Valkyrie's boy in the back for a comparison of the cormos vs the cormo/romeldale cross. The cross ram is just massive!


Clementine's girl in front, Jewel's girls on either side.


Katelyn's girl chilling out for a single second after parkour-ing off my back for the past 30 minutes. She is a wild child!

Not sheep but I don't want to make another thread :p

We got an Easter surprise! Truffle (angora goat) was due on the 23rd but looked suspicious this morning so I tossed her in the feed room while I went to my parents' house for Easter dinner. Came home to a pair of nice warm and dry goat kids all snuggled into the hay. The silver brown is a doe, the regular brown is a buck :love

And yes, we had delicious home grown leg of lamb for dinner!

The first of the stragglers, Mimosa, lambed yesterday. Ran out to the barn before going to a shearing job several hours away and there was a ewe lamb all clean and dry and full. Good job Mimosa! She was on her last chance after not settling twice so I'm glad she shaped up and is being a good mama. The lamb is super cute as well.

The last two ewes are both due on the 19th.

I'm pretty fond of them myself ;)

Main batch of lambs are a month old now. At this point I'm probably keeping Kiwi, Clem's and Daisy's girls. Things might change as horns continue to grow in but I'm hoping to sell most of this year's lambs at AGM in July.

Kiwi


Awkward boy


Dipstick tail


Fancy boots


Clem's lamb


Aster's ewe


Aster's sassypants boy


Miss Tache


Daisy's girl
