Bella's baby, Siobhan
Out of curiosity, how did you choose that name? I ask because I had never heard it before a girl with that name started working at my favorite family owned market about a year ago. I had to look it up to find that it is Irish.

It's a name that I've always really liked and she was born on St Patrick's Day so it seemed appropriate to give her an Irish name.

Something very sad happened today. A lamb was born, a very pretty lamb with spots and a soft, fine fleece. The perfect lamb in fact, just what I was hoping for when I crossed my Shetlands with a BFL. Why is she so sad, you might wonder. This is why......IT HAS TESTICLES!!!!! :hit

He will keep his testicles for now, but he will most likely end up as a fiber wether.

Silly lambs! Let's boing up and down, let's play Parkour on our Moms!

Sorry your perfect lamb isn't the gender you wanted. When you said something sad happened I thought you lost it.

Another ewe down, 3 to go!

Pazi the Lincoln FINALLY lambed. She had a ram and a ewe. The ram is nice structurally, but he has a big black spot on his side. That's a major fault in a white Lincoln. He's cute though.

The last 3 ewes are Shetlands bred to the Blueface ram. I'm guessing that Flute will be next. I thought she might go last night/today, but nothing so far. I don't have a due date on her, but her hormones are kicking in. She screams at me every time I go in the barn and she was a bit obsessed with Celeste's baby last night.
