Adelle finally stopped waddling around and delivered beautiful twins early on 4/8/11. She has a ram lamb 9# that is black and white spotted and may have the gray factor as well as a solid black ewe lamb 7#.

They were all cleaned up and nursed when we found them this morning.

Shantung had twin black lambs, a ram and a ewe early in the morning on April 15th. They weighed 8.5 pounds each. They carry moorit from their mom. Both parents carry the spotting gene, so they could be hiding that trait as well.

Sire is Apollo, my biggest, most gentle ram.

Ram lamb "Ivan" on left and ewe "Ivy" on right Ivan is Reserved

Ivy is available

TNT delivered twin girls on the evening of April 17th. Their father is Stitch, our new ram from The Creek's Edge Farm in South Dakota. They are quite unusual in coloration. I am pretty sure that one is moorit homozygous gray badgerface, and one is black gray spotted badgerface carrying moorit from her sire.

"Miss Bronwstone" Reserved and "My Michelle" Reserved

**************************

Molly surprised me with twin girls all cleaned up and nursed with full tummies when I got home from work on Wednesday, 4/20/11. These girls are sired by Stitch and are both black gray carrying moorit from their sire. They should be big, meaty girls like their mom.

Poppy Reserved and Petunia Reserved

Merecedes had a black mouflon ram lamb and a black ewe lamb on 4/21/11. Sadly, the ewe lamb was born dead. The ram is growing fast and is already keeping up with the "big guys." His sire is Gil, so he carries moorit.

Ram Lamb Roderick Reserved

Lady and Stitch produced two cute ewe lambs on April 30th.

Some comments from our customers:

"When your daughter gets a chance, can you have her write what she does to tame/train your lambs to lead and be handled? I really appreciate having such well behaved and easy to handle ewes. Andromeda lets us touch her any time, and I’ve never had a sheep like that before. "

++++++++

"Athena is real character! She was looking out the windows, nosing about the back of the Jeep and talking to us when we said something. And she's beautiful, too!"

++++++++

"Zephyr is a great looking ram, our best I think. If you would like some updated pics, I can send. He is truly a gorgeous ram. We really lucked out with him. Your buyers would be lucky to have his brother. He is very big and has great horns. He is very timid, but doesn't give us any trouble". (this was a lamb from Shantung and Apollo)

All of our lambs are handled and halter trained at a young age.
