Thought I'd be dishing out a quick breakfast for the sheep before work...but Izzie had a surprise for me 🤗
This little girl is so cute 😍 She brings our tally to 6 rams and 5 ewe lambs. We officially have 2 mommas left to lamb! May, the milk ewe, and good old Rosebank.
This little girl's name is Aya (eye-uh). Izzie's full name is Isadora, which means Isis's gift. So we will do a fun Egyptian name theme. Aya means miracle in Arabic. Since Izzie was NOT supposed to be bred this year, it seemed fitting.
Fun fact: something we hope to improve upon Izzie's line is the fact that she doesn't have wool on her head. Per SOP for shetlands, there needs to be some fuzz up there. So we will be watching little Aya to see if we have that with her.
