Lambing season has officially come to an end. The first ewe gave birth on Mother’s Day weekend, and over the past several weeks our flock has welcomed a whole new generation of little ones to the farm!
Flavio has been present for nearly every lamb birth at Apricot Lane Farms over the past 15 years, and says this is the first time he’s seen our Dorper sheep with tan patches and salt-and-pepper-looking “beards.” We’re learning that the breed naturally carries a reservoir of color alleles that can resurface and express themselves in these unique patterns.
Nature is always surprising us, and this time it’s particularly adorable. 🤍
