Well it's that time of year!!! I knew it was only a matter of time till I got a picture message of a little lamb in the house
This is her second lamb. She's five days old now and spends majority of the time in the garage this time, no diapers this time


(and yes her town has laws against barn yard animals, but what's that got to do with anything
I would say 80% of the time there is some sort of barn yard animal in the house. Ducks, geese, chicks, pheasants, you name it!)

Luckily it's been decently warm. The sheep stay in the barn though, and the lambs/moms in a little birthing room. It's pretty warm in there no matter what the temp is outside!

She doesn't have a name yet because my little cousin will be taking her as a 4-H project. My cousin will be naming her and taking her home eventually!

She's what you call a "purebred mut"
her dad was a white ram with giant horns, her mom half black faced with a white body and half white
My granny raises them for fun. She just loves bottle feeding them, but it gets to be a bit much when you have 13 lambs!!!!

Here's a picture of some of the other sheep I just took a couple day ago. If anyone has any idea what the breed mixes are, be my guest!

Some point, about 5 years ago, there was a spotted ram. That's where the spots came from.

They look to be mainly Columbian and Suffolk crossed.

I've deffinitely heard the world Suffolk from the guy that lets her borrow his rams. I'm sure you know more about the breeds than I do, so that's what they are


Thanks
