Lamb #1

The marking harness did the trick - 147 days after the big blob coloring job...we had a lamb!

Secret x Leonidas = a nice, big ram lamb....grey in color with a beautiful splash on the head and frosted ears. Sure, I would have preferred a ewe, would have LOVED two rather than one, but hey- no vets, and I didn't have to pull this one myself.
Secret is a very protective mother...actually bordering on psycho aggressive. So photo opportunities come few and far between...

But we'll keep practicing....

Congratulations! Will you keep him as a fiber producer?

Secret definitely has "that look" in her eye to stay back. The lamb is very cute.

Gotta say the little guy is a real "looker." I love black lambs/sheep.
