Smudge was born a couple days ago, but he was just too special to lump in with the rest of the lambs yesterday.
No, he isn’t registerable and yes, he has WAY to much black on his body, but I love the smile on his face. He had a sister, but she was born dead. I’m not sure what happened and I hate it when that happens, but I feel very fortunate that her brother was ok.
He made quite the impression out in the pasture today and Liberty wasn’t sure what to think of him.
At one point, he got a little lost and was sure Magoo was his mama.
Luckily his mom came to the rescue and I’m sure Magoo was relieved that he wasn’t going to have babysitting duties for long term.
I ran across the name – Smudge – when I was doing some fiber research the other day and I knew that I would know the lamb it belonged to as soon as they were born. Poor guy – all of his spots were smeared together! His cute face makes up for it and look at all of that black fiber 🙂
Stories from the Farm 
Smudge, AKA, Magoo, is so cute ! We have no lambs yet ( to my surprise )and your pictures make me so excited. Don’t you just get that all over warm and fuzzy feeling when viewing healthy lambs as they frolic and jump around just for the joy of it ? Congratulations on a great looking baby flock!
He is so ADORABLE Shannon! I love his name too… Perfect! And you know how I am kinda partial to those “not-so-perfectly-marked” sheep. They’re just special… After-all, the Jacobs wouldn’t be as fun without them. 😀 I hope his wool is good enough to keep him around… Hey, get Theron to tame him down for you. He seems pretty good at that! 😉
He’s adorable! All that black wool is so pretty, his fleece will be a spinners dream. 🙂
The pictures with Smudge and Magoo are way past cute 🙂
The pictures of towering Magoo and little bitty Smudge are so cute and Liberty looks like she’s ready to turn and run from him. I agree,Smudge is the perfect name for him, and you will probably find a great fiber home for him.
Will you band him so he can become a spinner’s pet? He is adorable!
I’m glad you all like Smudge 🙂 Yes, he will be banded (castrated) so he can hopefully become somebody’s spinner’s pet or just stay here – look at all of that black fleece!
