More babies...


I left work early today. I seem to be coming down with a cold...scratchy throat, cough, my eyes burn.... I got home just in time to see Zanex cleaning off a freshly born black/krunet (white cap on his head) ram lamb. The little guy was on his feet in minutes and I sat with them while Zanex delivered his twin sister ~
a lovely, moorit ewe lamb with a splash of white on her head. Very typical markings for my HST breeding stock. Although these lambs may not LOOK all that flashy, they carry the genetic potential to throw HST marked offspring. Plus, they're still beautiful ;-) I stuck around long enough to dip the babies cords in iodine and give Zanex some de-wormer, then headed into the house for a NAP...
