Lambing Season- 2016-
When it comes to animals being born on the farm, I think I get the most giddy over the lambs. There is something about those little wooly babies and their over attentive mommas.
Aspen was the first ewe to go. We walked outside to 2 little black girl lambs.
Meet Lace....
and Silver...
I just knew it would be a short time before the next lamb would arrive. I checked several times a day and through the night. Alas, it was like watching a pot boil. Finally, Aspen's sister, Fiona, had a super splashy baby girl that is all diva. Meet Paisley...
We now had 3 more mommas to lamb. I made my predictions as to who would go next. Of course, they decided to spite me and go in all sorts of orders. Our old girl Duff, was the third one to lamb. Once again, we had another little girl, but this one was white! Meet Eve...
We were down to our southdown sisters. Sybil went first and had a super black little girl. I'm somewhat partial to Sybil, so this baby was really exciting for me. Meet Georgette...
The last arrival was Edith's little white lamb. Once again, we had a girl. While we just missed her birth, we caught her right after, so she was still getting cleaned off by mom. Meet Evelyn...
We are so in love with our 6 little girls. They are all very different, and have way cool wool. We can't wait to show them at State Fair. They have already been on several field trips to visit kids and tell everybody about wool.
Now that lambing season is over, shearing season is about to begin, so stay tuned! For now, enjoy all of the cuteness.
