The Girls Are In The Lead Again

Born today May 1st our second to the last lamb for 2008:


Kimberwood Alice
(named for her Grand Dam)
Moorit? or Musket? Yuglet ???
Out of BluffCountry Glitter and Kimberwood Gentry

I've never had one so white and not Awt! Mom is musket and dad is moorit.

Only one more ewe left to lamb and she isn't due until May 18th. This shepherd will hopefully get some rest by then!

Bliss Did it Again!

Born today, April 25th to Windswept Bliss and sired by Kimberwood Gentry:

Does this mean he is a flecket?

Born April 17th to Sheltrgpines Siomha and Kimberwood Gentry:


Kimberwood Siobhan
(pronounced sho-vahn)
Katmoget Yuglet/Flecket Ewe Lamb!


I'm having a hard time with determining if she is fawn or grey. She has areas on her belly that are darker than on her body but it looks dark brown to me not black. When looking at her next to her mom they look very similar but Siomha's eye spots and ears look darker (more black). Anyone want to enlighten me?

Here is why I think Siobhan is katmoget: See how dark the color is here on the belly?

And here on each side of her tail.
The consensus is that she is a fawn katmoget.

Kimberwood Lili X Lil'Country Light Foot

I was born last night in the storm. My shepherd kept all of the moms inside the barn and it was a bit crowded. When my mom Lili had me there was a lot of confusion and we became separated. My mom had never had a baby before so she didn't know what to do. My shepherd tried to get my mom to take me back but she was just too upset. Now I get to live in the big house with the satellite TV! Bob the big guy of the house says I shouldn't get too used to it because as soon as it warms up I have to go back to my flock. My shepherd says I'll be okay and that she will take good care of me. She says its important for me to be with other lambs like me to play with them. Did you know there are "Lamb Races"!

I am a Shetland addict. I am a wool addict. I am a yarn addict. I love to spin, knit and raise sheep. I am owned by Emily and Rabb, my Border Collies who love to help me with the sheep. When I'm not knitting, spinning or taking care of my sheep, I work from home designing websites and as a XanGo Independent Distributor.
