First-time mama Bronwen is doing a fantastic job.
Baby looks nice and square.
And of COURSE she's beautiful - so her name is Bonny!"Mother Jugs" is still holding out on me.
That's it for now at . . .

Michelle, congratulations~! She's beautiful! Do Shetlands typically only have singles, or is it more that Bronwen is a first-time mom? I am so envious.
YAY! FINALLY! A EWE!! So happy. and is she moorit to boot? Fantastic!
Happy Birthday Bonny! She's lovely!!! xoxoxoxo
Susan, I'd say Shetlands more typically twin, but Bronwen's dam had singles more often than twins AND it's Bronwen's first lambing....
Thanks, Garrett! She is brown-based, but time will tell if she got the "dark Ag" gene from her papa.
Thanks, Isobelle!
Finally a little ewe lamb. Whew. She is very cute. Perhaps she will herald a new ewe trend at Boulderneigh.
Tammy
She is wonderful Michelle........congrats on the ewe lamb. Maybe I'll have a baby when I get home today. (fingers crossed)
Does she look gulmoget? Perhaps moorit gulmoget? Way cool!! I predict that Annabelle will lamb tomorrow evening... Not that I have any idea, you understand!
Yes, Tammy and Kelly, it is WONDERFUL to have a ewe lamb finally.
Laura, BITE YOUR TONGUE. Annabelle is to lamb TODAY. (And yes, Bonny is indeed a moorit gulmoget.)
She is indeed bonny! Congratulations
Congratulations on your Bonny lamb!
