Are You Getting Tired of Lamb Announcements Yet?

This last week's trips to the barn has been like waking up on Christmas morning and making your way down the stair to see whats under the Christmas tree. You just know something great awaits you there.

Today it was number 5 and her new ram lamb. #5 is a Polled Dorset and all our Polled Dorset ewes were breed to a Hampshire ram. Hampshire's have black hair on their faces and legs, were as the Dorset's have white.  With this cross breeding you get what is called freckled lambs, lambs with spots and dark markings.

What is great about this is each lamb looks different. There are not any two a like.

Today's little lamb is grey and brown instead of black and white. He has a lot of freckles.  He's so cute, but then I think every lamb is cute. It is so nice to be so right.
