That little cormo ramling is trying to be "varigated" too.

Its been so nice and sunny lately. The babies are thrilled.
These two romeldale boys are bestest friends. The white one is now Sherman, the spotty one is Goliath.
Sherman thinks dirt is for eating.
Mmmm dirt.
Goes down smooth.
Then came lamb races.
Random chunk of metal is home base.
Romeldales got things started.
Run boys!
The jacobs caught up and they booked it to the happy fun hole. Every year all the lambs go nuts about that hole. I don't know what's so exciting about it but they love it.

The romeldales got docked and tagged yesterday. Jacob sheep have green tags, cormos have spearmint, and the romeldales have fuchsia.
The tags are a lot smaller on those giant romeldale ears than on my jacob babies.
They hardly weigh the ear down at all, even though he's less than 2 weeks old.
Its barely noticeable at all on big Goliath, who is now about 21 lbs at 11 days old.
The jacob ears are still a little floppy even with the tiny tags.
Bracken is starting to have all 4 horns show.
And he likes using them. Primrose is his favorite butting partner.
Big boy cormo still has entirely too much attitude.

Finally had my last lamb born at 2 Saturday morning. My favorite ewe, Jewel, had a big still born ram lamb and the tiniest, loudest little ewe lamb I've ever seen. I took video because I wasn't sure anyone would believe just how loud she was.

She started out strong but got chilled overnight. I had to bring her in, warm her with in my bathroom with the shower on and a hair drier going, and tube feed her some warm colostrum. It was 40 degrees, raining, and there were 20 mph winds going all day and night so I could just stick her back in the barn still weak but I didn't want to pull her from her mom and bottle feed her so I ended up with a bathroom full of sheep.
I tubed her 3 times in the first 24 hours so I was sure she got plenty of colostrum and by Sunday morning she was starting to act like a normal lamb again. She's only 3 lbs and its still cold and windy out so she got a jacket but was able to move back out to the barn.
Today she's doing really well and I think she's going to make it. I'm going to have to be careful putting her out with all the other babies who are easily 5x bigger than her but she's sassy so I think she'll be alright.
Eatin' a grass.
"You aren't going to break out the tube again are you?"
She's such a cute little girl.

She's the most precious little thing EVER! That video made me LOL! She sure is loud! I love her mom, too. She's so pretty. Sorry about the ram lamb though. But wow, you got lucky with that little cutie! I'm sure she'll be fine, you took good care of her.

Primrose remains perfect as always in case you we wondering.
It looks like she'll only have 2 horns, which is just fine by me.
She's getting so fluffy!
Bracken's nose is filling in finally.
Tiny sheep is 5 lbs now and will be a week old tomorrow. She's almost as heavy as the rest of the Jacob lambs were when they were born.

So adorable! You're a good photographer, whenever I pull out my camera, all my animals seem to turn their backs so I only get pictures of their tails.
