Late last evening Ziva delivered a single ram lamb.
Ziva was bred to Two Tone.
This is Ziva's first time lambing and she did a great job all by herself.
This little guy is cute, has a nice crimpy lamb fleece and is spotted.
He also has horn buds so we'll have to see how those turn out,
although he could have scurs. ...we'll see.
So we have officially finished our lambing season.
I thought we had one or two more but looking
closer it is obvious that they did not breed.
We ended with 54 lambs.
30 rams and 24 ewes, 13 sets of twins and 28 singles.
Of those we have 13 Crossbred lambs (border cheviot X shetland)
of which 7 are rams and 6 are ewes.
Leaving us with 41 purebred lambs (shetlands)
of which 23 are rams and 18 ewes.
As of now everyone is doing well and we just want them all go grow.
There will be lambs available to purchase but we have
not made any decisions yet as to which purebreds will be available.
The crossbred lambs will all be sold, so if anyone is interested in these drop me
an email and inquire. They are still to young to leave but they will be available in the future.
