2016, Waiting on Lambs!

[secuono]

Went to sleep at 1:50am. Heard an ewe, odd sound, couldn't tell who it was.
Woke up at 3:20 to a lamb calling. Sounded odd, went down and saw TT by the pond. Then heard the lamb again, looked around and eventually noticed a black lamb by TT. Couldn't be her's, could it??
It was!
Ran around headless gathering items and then lead TT and the lamb into the barn. I had let FW and her boys out to sleep with the flock.
Dried the lamb best I could, but it's an odd covering on newborns, can't easily get it off and dried. 2 towels later and a ton of nursing and I left them alone.
Hope further things go well.

Congrats again. Confirmed single or might there be another?

 

[norseofcourse]

Awwww - congrats! I thought Cheviots were always white? Or is the lamb a cross?

 

[secuono]

Babydoll /Cheviot cross. Single.
I've seen black mini cheviots, but idk if reg cheviots come in other colors. She does have spots on her ears and tongue, almost called her dice or snake-eyes because of her ear spots. Never noticed the tongue spots until recently.
She keeps dancing around while chatting to her lamb, living up to her name, lol.
You can see the spots in these pics.
Heavy lamb, it surprised me last night, lol, at least compared to the Babydolls.

Finally got a picture with her!

Llama or sheep? Hmmm...lol
My mother calls her the ugly goat....Poor TT.

Oh, Billy is the sire of TT's lamb.

The lamb is absolutely adorable. Afraid that she might have excessive cuteness, LOL.

Llama or sheep? I was thinking/leaning to Kangaroo! The pictures of Dice with Twinkle Toes and that lamb looks big (large at birth), but when pictured with the baby dolls, Dice looks HUGE! On a side note... I don't think TT is "ugly", I actually think she has a pretty face. Thanks again for all the pics!

All three lambs got their tails banded and the rams got their ear tags.
The mix lamb was supposed to be a dinner lamb, but IDK if I can go through with it. So for now, she'll stay tagless. I might be able to find a fiber home for her in time, hah. She's got a really cute face, will try to get a closeup picture tomorrow.
