Sigh...
I love lambing season!
We discovered our first lambs of the year today. The twins were nearly dry by the time we learned we had lambs, and we scrambled for our lambing equipment: the camera.
The Kid took photos of the Mister and Me. The lighter colored lamb is a girl and she will become blonde or a butterscotch color as she matures... this brown color is her lamb coat.
The black lamb is a boy, and the white bits on his head and neck might fade to nearly nothing, or they may indicate a color change coming. We shall see. He's only a few hours old, and has some sturdy one inch horns that are mostly covered with hair. In a week or so they will be more visible.
Good girl Valerian!
Which of these beautiful, fleecy girls will lamb next? Some of them are already beginning to shed their fleece.

They are very good and healthy looking, I can't wait to see what the rest of them look like.
