I can only hope that my first lambing season will be as trouble-free as yours. We have 4 ewes to go... The horn buds on that lamb are remarkable! He's huge! Poor little Butter, I hope she is feeling better now that she has her youthful physique back!Claire MWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02603169881463831299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-28713546882005276922009-04-12T15:40:00.000-07:002009-04-12T15:40:00.000-07:00Lovely pictures & very 'Easterie'Easte...Lovely pictures & very 'Easterie'<BR/><BR/>Easter wishes, Wizz :-)An English Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17538962642970952214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-83278119016094570282009-04-12T11:31:00.000-07:002009-04-12T11:31:00.000-07:00Yes Jenny, Butter held her condition well; I'm act...Yes Jenny, Butter held her condition well; I'm actually pleased! This is my first and maybe only time breeding a ewe lamb, so I made sure she got her share of grain in the last few weeks. Didn't want her shorted while she was growing a lamb....<BR/><BR/>Sally, here is the final tally:<BR/>Dinah begat Bronwen, a moorit gulmoget ewe lamb<BR/>Inky begat Blackberry, a black gulmoget ram lamb with krunet, and Bramble, a moorit gulmoget ewe lamb<BR/>Brava begat Beau, a solid moorit ram lamb, and Boo, a moorit gulmoget ram lamb<BR/>Butter begat Barabbas, a solid moorit ram lamb<BR/><BR/>The jury will be out for awhile on what colors these lambs actually are, because we think the sire's color is modified (fawn), Butter is Ag (musket), and Brava's color is still a toss-up between fawn and musket. And Blackberry has some silver coming it on his haunches, but shouldn't carry Ag so who knows WHAT is going on there!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-84791978994383529332009-04-12T10:02:00.000-07:002009-04-12T10:02:00.000-07:00Congrats on lovely lambs!

She's carrying plenty of "condition"!!

His mom is Ag (a fader), and we think his dad is fawn (modified), so it will be interesting to see how he turns out. I would love to learn that Butter carries an Aa (solid) gene, instead of being Ag/Ag.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-79136967431580064932009-04-12T07:30:00.000-07:002009-04-12T07:30:00.000-07:00What a beautiful boy he is!
