Summer Lamb

This Summer one of our new ewes Lily
had a lamb.
Her birth story is in the blog.
 But I thought it would be nice if I could show you some pictures.
She is a beautiful big and healthy ewe lamb.
We named her Cattail Amaryllis
Amaryllis means "to Sparkle" 
and we thought that was quite suiting.
Dusty was sure that it would be annoying to say so it was shortened to 
Alma.
She is fun and curious by nature.
She is by far the most friendly lamb we've ever had. She will leave her ewe and come right up to investigate you.

Alma a few hours old. She was so big we think a nerve may have been pinched.
She couldn't get up and laid in some of the most akward looking poses! 

 

 Finally up and standing on her own.

 Kicked out into the field with the other ewes.
Lily was happy to be back out in her pen!
(about 2 weeks old)

 Out and exploring!
Alma is about 1 month old.

 She is going to be a stunning ewe.
We are going to be thrilled to add her into our breeding ewes!
