She's so cute, she looks like an old fashion teddy bear.

Weighed the babies on Friday but I forgot to update.

Lady Gaga - 17.0 lbs (Week ADG: 0.214 lbs, 4-week ADG: 0.268)
Katy Perry - 23.0 lbs (Week ADG: 0.357 lbs, 4-week ADG: 0.321)

Also added new pics of them--check out all of them at my web site link (under my avatar). But here's a few :)

I can't wait until I have my next baby lamb. I have one that's expecting this Summer (oops) and probably this month!

Southdown, I expect to see pictures! :p lol

I weighed the lambs tonight...but I think my bathroom scale is broken. :idunno I weighed myself before I took the scale outside and then I picked up Katy Perry and took her out of the pen and weighed her in our shed and when we were both on the scale (me holding her) the scale was going all over the place in a 3 lb range. Then I put Katy Perry back and weighed myself again and I managed to lose 4 lbs in less than 5 minutes? And then I calculated her weight and she came out to 18 lbs?

She weighed 23 lbs last week so I highly doubt she LOST 5 lbs. And then I weighed Lady Gaga and she came out the same weight as when I had held Katy Perry, but then I put Lady Gaga back and weighed myself again and I gained 7 lbs? Ummm I don't think so. Lol, I seriously need a new scale...at least before they're weaned. Maybe tomorrow I'll go run errands with my mom and we can stop at Walmart and pick up a scale :D

Do your sheep play with that ball? :p
No :p I put it in with my ram hoping he would ram that instead of the ladder/gate. But he doesn't even touch it! lol
