This guy gets better looking every day. Born dark brown with white spots and even as a little guy he stood up so straight and said hey, look at me. The brown starting to fade but it doesn't matter because....his fleece is coming in solid grey underneath and oh so soft!

The breeding season ended with 16 lambs. 4 rams and 12 ewes. All healthy, all growing like weeds. I have been blessed with privilege of raising these beautiful, hardy, intelligent sheep for 33 years. It has been a journey learning about a species and breed that I had no knowledge of to a place where I love and understand them and let them be them. Its so magical to watch the lambs grow and change colors over the summer. I have purposefully bred white out of my flock because I like natural colors. I had one white out of 16. Now to watch fleeces develop and look for luster and handle (good) and kemp(not good).

So now begins the dilemma. Such beautiful lambs and I cant keep them all. My girls say sure you can but really it's a little much.

Lambing season is over. I thought with my mix of first time mom's and mature ewes I would end up with 13 lambs. Surprize! 2 first timers had twins and my oldest ewe, 8 years old this year, had triplets for the third time. So 16 total, 4 rams and 12 ewes. These are half of them. They all look promising but time will tell! Feeling sad that I cant keep them all...

Well, lambing season is nearly complete with a cascade of healthy happy lambs. 7 mom's delivered 12 lambs. 10 ewes and 4 rams. Two first timers holding out just to drive me crazy.

Aster came in second with 2 long legged ewe lambs. The white one is dirty because why have her in the straw when you can drop her in the dirt!? Shes fine though. Very sturdy!

I love the matching facial markings on these two. Black girl and brown boy. Rudolf is the third triplet with the brown nose. He was a little slow but doing fine now. Mamma straightened him out. Said none of my babies will be bottle babies.

Vienna decided to provide a "pregame show". Babies due on the 2nd of March. Born 27 February. Navajo Churros instinctively know what's best for their babies. Vienna was a bottle baby. She has triplets for the 3rd time. 18 babies in 8 years. Always by herself when nobody is looking. The first dry day in a week. 2 boys and a girl out of my big boy Merle.
