Spot Lambed ~ June 4th, 2012!!

On Monday, June 4th, 2012 around 7:00 to 8:00am I went to check on Spot (I hadn't checked on her for several hours:)). When I went out I looked down by the chicken coop and saw a little lamb so I looked closer and sure enough Spot had twin lambs already out and standing. She had 1 BEAUTIFULLY red spotted EWE lamb and 1 pretty mostly white ram lamb with some red spots on his head and neck (he is marked almost identically like Spot [his mom]).

The sire to the lambs is a red Katahdin ram we use to own, Big Salmon and the dam is a Katahdin ewe of ours, Spot.

Here are some pictures ~

This is the ewe lamb, we plan on keeping her as a breeder.

This is the ram lamb, I don't know if we will be keeping him yet.

New Finnish Landrace sheep!!

On Wednesday, March 14th, 2012 we got 3 new Finnish Landrace ewes. We got them from Connie Santos (thanks a LOT Connie for the sheep!!). Two of them are adult 2 year old ewes and the third one is a registrable month old bottle eweling. They are all three white and two of them have some little spots around their eyelids. The 2 ewes come from excellent bloodlines, but are not registered. Their dams are registered, but two registered Finn rams got in with them and thus we do not know who the sire is.

Here are some pictures ~

This one was bred to a registered Finn ram and is due in August.

This one was bred to a registered Finn ram and is due in June.

This is the little bottle lamb . . . she is very sweet
