Earlier this week, twins were born out of Locksfield Griffin (Black Smirslet) & Locksfield Willow (Grey Flecket), my assistance was obviously not wanted or needed, as they were born between barn checks. Willow had a most lovely musket ewe lamb and a handsome little grey ram (with some light flecket markings). Both are a little on the smaller side, but seem to be doing just fine.
The little ewe, figuring out the the mechanics of legs.
Shearing went extremely well, only one bad mishap, and Rain's tail is a bit shorter, but all in all, things were smooth, and the weather was fantastic. Looks like some great fleeces too. Pictures and stories up sometime.. once the lamb storm is over! Three very preggie girls looking ready to go any minute. Rain was the one that just had twins---oh and for those keeping count--another ram and ewe! Both Ag grey, no markings that I can see. Pictures hopefully tomorrow.
Lamb count is four ewes---four rams. Two white, two moorit, one musket and three grey. These little boys will make super fiber boys so will be wethered soon. (Sorry Allena!)
Well, back out to the barn to see if everyone is settled in.

I love those ears on your Saucey little lamb! Let's hope she keeps them that color as she grows!
We had our shearer here yesterday...our older girls are bagging up and the young moms put in two weeks later haven't started up yet, but our shearer had lambs moving under her hands. I can hardly wait!
So how long does a girl have to wait for pictures of new lambs? Come on, you have to go back to work tomorrow!
