2014 Lambs

This year was a great year for lambs! We bred with two different rams. Ram number one belongs to our dear friends (who also show with us) the Towers of Olive Branch Shetlands and Freddy's Farm shetlands. Mocha is a beautiful aged ram with a stellar body and an even more beautiful fleece. The second ram we bred with was Leo, my champion ram from last year.

The first pair to arrive was out of Melody and Mocha. She gave us two beautiful boys, Wildair Seymour and Wildair Dempsey.

Dempsey has the sweetest face :) he is a moorit gulmoget

 

The next ewe to lamb was Eloise! She was also bred to Mocha. Wildair Remy and Wildair Rosie were the two treasures I received from her. Remy has a stunning fawn fleece and Rosie has a very Eloise-like shaela gulmoget fleece.  Rosie managed to retain her mother's personality as has consistently proved herself to be a minx :)

 Izzy lambed next, she was also bred with Mocha, and her lambs came out flashy as always! Wildair Pascal is the handsome gray bergesset ram who seems to be growing up much like Leo. Faye is the ewe or this batch and has a lovely gray fleece under those black tips.

 Finally... Minnie lambed! Almost a month after everyone else, in fact. She was bred to Leo and produced two adorable sweet babies. Poe is the boy with the pretty markings on his face, and a nice gray fleece underneath. Paisley is my stunning black gulmoget ewe. Her fleece takes after mothers but is a bit looser from her fathers side. Together they make an excellent end to the lambing season.

 That's a total of eight lambs! Three girls and five boys, which is much better than last years 6 rams and one accident ewe haha. Overall its going to be a great year with these lambs!
