Finally some action ( and picture updates)!

We were off to a good start with Annie and Billy, and then the ewes decided to take some time off - just over a week off. Extremely irritating as we were ready for babies!

Today, they decided to have rush of babies with four more. Polly, our Polypay, had twins this morning and then this afternoon Bayberry, some kind of mixed breed, also had twins. They are all doing amazingly well!

This is Billy at 9 days old and
turning into a great guy. He is really
filling in nicely.
Annie and Billy are growing like weeds and are already playing with the big kids.

This is Annie at 10 days old.
She is a very solid young lady.















This is Polly (the Polypay breed) with her two
babies this morning. I love this picture as it
looks like she is smiling over the great job
she has done.





This is Cola on the left and
Cherry on the right












A close up of the lambs together. What is really
interesting is that Cola`s fiber (top)is much
more hair-like (similar to the dads)
and Cherry`s fiber (bottom) has a real crimp
to it, similar to the moms.




This is Dustin the boy. He was born second
and is slightly smaller than his older sister.
But a real go getter already!









This is Bayberry with her two lambs
this afternoon. In this picture they
are no more than an hour or two old.




















This is Dandelion, the girl. She was born first and
has great markings. Her head is very similar
to her dads, but I`m not sure where she got
the target mark over her tail.
