Since we have a small amount of lambs this year it’s been wonderful to get to know all of them individually. Here’s a little bio on each of them.
Luanne’s Lambs – the oldest Triplets (for sale)
These are 3 boisterous and confident boys! They have excellent crimpy fleece and are all growing really well. The two white lambs (Homer and Blinky) are noisy and curious. Very acclimated to people. L’il Blackie is a bit quieter and a little more bonded to his mom. He is her favorite!
Snowball’s Lambs – Mixed Triplets (for sale)
Snowball’s litter all have a more open fleece and are generally very calm, grounded lambs. The biggest lamb (Spot and black and white ewe) has stayed larger than her litter mates. Groucho is an exceptionally mellow little ram. By far the tiniest is a little white ewe named Vanilla. She is mom’s favorite so you’d think that she’d be catching up in the growth department. She’s getting lots of people time since I’m actively bottle feeding her twice a day. Each time she chugs down an entire baby bottle! She’s so sweet!
Mary’s Little Lamb (held back)
Well, she ain’t so little! Lady has gorgeous fleece and is being kept back for our breeding program. She is 2 ½ weeks younger than EVERYONE and she is the largest of them all! At this point she is only 2 weeks old and very bonded to mom. Her mom is a flighty ewe so I’m working super hard to make sure Lady gets tons of handling early and often so that she is friendly and easy to work with in the future. Just a beautiful ewe lamb.
Sounds like a very big, very adorable, happy family you’ve got over there!
