Check out the fleece on these boys! We seem to have a bit of a theme going this year with twins coming in one moorit and one black. These boys are sired by Kimberwood Leopold who is one of our white F1 (75% UK) Skeld sons.

Fairy Slipper lambed overnight on April 27th. Her twin ewe lambs were found separated in the morning. Mom is definately showing preference for one over the other. This is Xena our little warrior. She is nursing fine as long as we are holding mom. We are hopeful Mom will change her mind and take responsibility for this beautiful little girl. These girls are sired by Lil'Country Rugger.

Meg is in labor! She is bred to our F1 Jamie son, North Wind James. This will be the first lambs from James. She has been digging away, laying down and then 10 seconds later she gets up again. She has been baaing away looking for her new lamb every time she gets up. So far she has not been pushing.....time to go check her again!
Meg did lamb. She had twin black ram lambs, unfortunately one was stillborn. Pics of her surviving lamb once he dries off.

Last night was a busy night. Three more ewes lambed:
This is a black ewe lamb out of BluffCountry Bella Bambina and sired by Windswept Banning. What more can we say about her? Since her dad is a mioget HST and her mom is a full sister to an HST we were wishing for a little more splash than what we got. She is a very nicely built ewe though who carries spots and modified genetics!
This is a musket ram lamb out of Thistle Keep Red Deer and sired by Lil'Country Rugger. Notice the nice size horn spots? Not what we were hoping for out of a polled ram. But is to be expected.
And last but not least:
A mioget flecket (possibly yuglet) ram lamb out of Windswept Bliss and sired by Sheltrgpines Arturo. This guy was a total surprise last night. While I was inside with the first two ewes waiting on them to lamb, Bliss had him outside in the dark. She really was not looking like she was going to lamb last night or she would have been in with the us.
Yeah!! We have spots!

Our first lambs arrived last night! Kimberwood Katy produced two beautiful ram lambs sired by Windswept Banning. One is moorit and the other is black with a little bit of frosting on his head. Both of these boys carry spotting genetics as well as modified genetics. It was a little too dark and they were a little too wet yet to tell if either of them are modified.
Our first 3 groups of ewes to lamb will be sired by Windswept Banning and Sheltrngpines Arturo who are both spotted and modifed rams. The 3rd group is sired by Lil'Country Rugger and he is a moorit half polled (possibly full polled) ram. These were all due to begin on April 13th (Katy was a little early). The next 4 groups begin one on April 22nd and the rest on May 2nd, are all sired by F1 UK rams. I'll tell you more about them when their lambs are closer to arriving.
One down and about 30 more ewes yet to lamb!
