We added 3 bred ewes to the flock in November and not knowing their breeding history it was a surprise when one lambed in December with triplets. Expected lambing dates were thought to be January. Of this set the biggest bar far is one we named Labam. A very striking panda colored ram lamb. Getting on track in January another ewe lambed with twins. Actually had two ewes lamb on this day each with a set of twins. The last of the new trio was a huge ewe named Flower.... she kept us waiting & waiting & waiting.... finally last Saturday night about 10 pm she lambed with a set of triplets. Out of 10 ewes there were 18 lambs born between Dec 2013 - Mar 2014. We have our eye on a few for showing at the Country Fair in early August.
As they mature there will be very nice ewe and ram lambs for sale.
