Lol! Actually, after shearing last spring, I started to have issues telling them apart.
Now the only two who trip me up are Periwinkle and Chocolate. They have very similar faces, but different bodies, but usually, I only have the faces to go by.

Twinkle-Toes looks to be quite round. And FatWrinkley keeps doing odd yoga poses...

I should be expecting at least 8 Babydoll lambs this spring, may get more, but wouldn't think any more than 11 or so.

I'm starting my search again for what theme to go with this year and then picking out the names.

Past years, and thus cannot be used again, are- St. Patrick's day related, modern day people names, colors, junk food and snacks.

I want to eventually do these themes- Periodic table, old style names, USA/Asian comic main character names, plants, old school video game characters, planets.

Anyone have any other theme suggestions?


Here's what I have so far, but still adding more.
Periodic table/science related- hydro, alumi, nitro, yttrium, radon.
Old style names- Eloise, Earl, Welton, Michaelis, Carlton.
USA/Asian comic main character names- Kirito, Kyo, Yato, Kaneki, Goku, Spike.
Plants(trees and flowers)- Willow, Chamomile, Chicory, Lilac, Alder, Buttercup, Ivy, Silverbell, Dahlia, Daisy, Jasmine, Wisteria, Tulip, Poppy.
Old school video game characters- Sonic, Zelda, Link, Mario, Peach, Kirby, Luigi, Yoshi.
Planets- Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto.

We've been doing name themes for 16 years. We've done Lord of the Rings, sports cars, country singers, Greek and Roman gods and goddesses, favorite movie characters, musical instruments, and many others. Our most recent (and longest lasting) theme is the periodic table. We are going into year 3 with it and we are up to Tellurium.

Yea, it had snowed again.
FatWrinkley is my bet for first lamber.
They are sucking down hay faster than I can put it out for them!
Worse yet, wind tore my hay tent and then snow piled on my bales! =0
Found several broken tree branches this morning.
2 aquarium filters broke.
I'm on a downward luck spiral. Really hope lambing season will be the upward spiral!!
