I knew Luna was getting close to delivering Friday evening by the way she was acting,
standing off in a corner with head low.
I was concerned that I would be home to be sure everything went ok because
Today we went to the Black Swamp Fiber Fest. Taking almost 14lbs. of
very fine white shetland wool to be made into combed top.
They (Zeilinger's) believes they will have it done in time to bring it to
the Great Lakes Fiber Show the end of May. ....can't wait!
So anyway, as soon as I arrived home we unloaded the truck of all
the fine wool top that was sent to Zwool in the fall, then immediately
went out to the barn to check on everybody and Luna was being a
great Mom to these babies. Her first time having lambs - twins!
She was also bred to ram, Gwynevar Du Roy and the above pic.
shows a nicely marked ram lambs that looks like he has potential for a
fine fleece. He does have horns buds so we'll see what develops.
He has spots..we'll see if the stay and is a brown base color.
And....this little moorit, krunet ewe lamb. I can tell that her body
color will fade away, we will have to wait and see what color she
will end up being, musket, fawn or mioget.
The rest of the girls are just hanging out, no one looks like they will
deliver this evening, but things change fast and you just never know.
