I know it's been a great while since I've last posted...but we have two new lambs on the ground. December 23rd Trudy, one of our FBA registered white Finn ewes, gave birth to a beautiful black piebald ewe lamb. She was promptly named Holly, since "The Holly and the Ivy" was playing in the house at the time. Her sire is Quick Silver, so she will be registered with the FBA and will be staying here with us. She's actually starting to gray, which is very exciting (and expected, since Quick is a gray badger). It should also be noted that she is dual-coated, which is very rare in Finns and was a very nice surprise for me.
January 16th, Rusetti gave birth to a little black HST pied ram lamb. It was bitterly cold and we were not expecting her to lamb that night. When we found the lamb, he was severely hypothermic and had to be brought into the house immediately to be warmed and given glucose. He recovered and is a beautiful little guy with an incredibly sweet personality. His name is quite fitting- "Bonaventure", which is Italian for "good fortune". His sire is Eero, so he carries brown, and will be registered with the NCWGA. He will likely be for sale when he is weaned.
Pictures coming soon!
