I got home from work shortly after 11 o'clock last night to find Zest, with this Dazzling set of twins! Meet "Bluff Country Razzle"(moorit ram lamb ~ if I were naming ram lambs!) and "Bluff Country Dazzle" (mioget/FLECKET ewe lamb).
Dazzle has a "moon spot" on her right shoulder ...
and the cutest little tail...
and she's SUPER FRIENDLY!!! OMG. I'm in love with a Flecket.
Razz is a handsome, square, krunet ram lamb with level topline and very square set legs. Both look like they're going to lean towards Zest's more single-coated type fleece.
So, what do you think, Linda & Pete???
She did good, huh?
Four down and two to go...
;-)
That is a gorgeous ewe lamb!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful ewe lamb! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteOMG! If she doesn't stay with you, she might have to come live with me!!!
ReplyDeleteShe is unbelievable! You didn't go for quanity this year, but you sure are getting quality! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI don't know the first thing about sheep (except what I have learned from you), but I'll take Dazzle off your hands, oh goodness, she is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteThey are adorable! What did you mean you're "in love with a flecket!"? Do you usually not like them?... what is a flecket!?
ReplyDeleteWell I wish you were closer I really want a moorit flecket ewe lamb, but I'd sure consider a mioget that's so damn cute. Congratulations Nancy.
ReplyDeleteLove that bright white tail poking out of that little brown rump.
ReplyDeleteSweet babies, Nancy.
Cute little lambs Nancy! You got some nice loud color there! Sounds like everything went smoothly as well! No more worries, 'til next year, right? lol!
ReplyDeleteActually, Juliann, I still have two ewes waiting to lamb. Zodiak & Bella Luna are the two hold outs. Both are 'solid' colored. Zodiak(black/bleset/iset) has given me almost all girls and MANY HST's, and Bella Luna is a black, first time mom. I will be glad when it's done!
ReplyDeleteKatie ~ I don't dislike "Fleckets" (large spots on the body) at all! It's just that in breeding for HST (spots on the Head, Socks and Tail), I try to keep the white areas OFF the body. But Zest is sold so I'm thinking that I'm just going to HAVE to keep her beautiful "Dazzle"...
;-)
I vote you keep Dazzle! She's a beauty - and already friendly!
