a stalled out lambing season continues

 We've almost double our deliveries in two days

Dave's ewe #200, bred with Stephanie Silver 

delivered this spotted single ewe lamb

She is just a little thing, typical of a Shetland.

#161 one of my Black Shetland ewes delivered this 

spotted Katmoget  Shetland ram lamb.

He is quite cute.

Later in the day when I removed the afterbirth from her pen

I discovered a small deceased lamb still wrapped within the placenta lining.

It's a complete guess on my end, but I would say that the lamb may have died 4 weeks earlier.

It was completely developed, although no fleece.  Yet the color of it was quite obvious.

A black and white spotted lamb.  He or She would have been quite a colorful addition.

#325 one of my crossbred ewes (Border Cheviot, Shetland and a bit of Cormo) was bred with my Cormo/Shetland ram lamb from the 2023 lamb crop.  She delivered a single white ewe lamb.

She has many of the skin wrinkles from the Cormo.  I think she is quite cute

and will have a wonderful fleece when she grows up.

#252 delivered this single ewe lamb this afternoon.  It is a moorit who's color will fade out to musket, 

a brown based color.

We have a few more to go yet and should be done with lambing

by the end of March.
