Rosie's baby is 1/4 Finn x 1/4 Dorset x 1/4 Texel x 3/16 Babydoll x 1/16 Montadale - definitely looks Texel-y in terms of body size and type, looks Finn-y with the ears and the black spot, and Dorset-y with the pink nose and pick around the eyes. Perfect blend!

Ciqala's baby is 1/4 Finn x 1/4 Dorset x 1/4 Babydoll x 1/4 Montadale. She just looks like a lamb, lol. I can't really pick a part any visually identifying breed-specific traits, lol.

Bella and Rosie's babies look pretty chunky. Ciqala's is a bit thin and she's all hunched up because she's cold. I'm about to go out an check on her.

Right now I have five left to lamb. Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Ali are due any day now. Lady Gaga looks like she'll go next; her vulva is turning pink so I think in the next 24-36 hours if she doesn't already have babies on the ground. Katy Perry and Ali I think still have another 2-3 days. And then in mid-March I have Phoibe and Elektra, ewe lambs from last year, due.
