At the beginning of breeding season, my son picked 3 ewes to breed to his ram, Reno. He did a great job picking the girls and the lambs are beautiful!
The first born was Echo and she is really friendly!
Here she is with her mama, Petunia.
These pretty girls were born this morning. You can really see the difference between the lilac in the front and the black in back.
The mom is almost solid lilac in color, but both lambs have wonderful coloring. The ideal jacob sheep coloring is 40% black/lilac and 60% white.
The lilac girl has the cutest little elf ears…
and the black girl has the cutest spot on the back of her head.
So far, this girl is friendly too.
He has one ewe left to lamb and he is really hoping for some boys. He asked me if I would trade him a boy for a girl if he doesn’t have any! He is working on a name for his flock.
And look…
a picture of me!!!!
I never have pictures of myself. My son is old enough that he can handle the camera 🙂 YAY!!! Paisley is still the cutest lamb ever.
These lambs are a very close second!
We have 14 lambs – 3 boys and 11 girls with more on the way very soon.
For those that want to see more lamb pictures, you can see them here – 2010 lambs
THANK YOU!!!! From the bottom of my wooly little heart! They are toooooo cute…and LOVE the picture of you!
Nice new flock Theron has going! He’s got an eye for sure. 😉
Paisley is so cute but then I wouldn’t expect anything less coming from her mama. 😀 Infiniti is a big fav of mine, as you know.
I just counted up my lambs – we’ve reached 20 this morning. I’ve still got quite a few to go too… Just keep swimming! 😉
Great looking lambs! Pretty lilacs. I think I need a lilac ram.
Wonderful beginning to his flock. So he’s a shepherd AND a photographer now!
Oh – and thanks for the picture of the black and the lilac lambs side by side. The difference is really obvious.
I think Theron is going to be a natural with sheep. Paisley is cute and what long legs she has… Jeslyn’s lamb is beautiful and thank you for posting pictures right away. We all appreciate it. I will be contacting you soon about my pic for lambs.
Oh, and thank you for posting pedigrees. Buyers always like that.
