Cedar Pond's Gudrid And Her New Lamb

 Cedar Pond's Gudrid had her little lamb 3/5/2017. I was surprised she had only one lamb, last year she had twins. She was certainly big enough that even the shearer predicted she'd twin.

Gudrid and her ewe lamb are both doing well. The weather has given us quite a challenge though, because we've had snow and frozen ground since the weekend after last Thanksgiving. We have to keep moving big boards and panels around under the barn eaves to provide little temporary pens for the new mothers. We'd hoped to have fences and stalls done by now, but my sheep are such good and smart moms they've figured things out and in spite of the lamb jugs held together with baling twine and bungee cords , all my lambs and their moms are healthy and thriving.

Cedar Pond's Mally & New Ram Lamb

 Mally had her wee little ram lamb ( boy ) 2/21/2013.Mally has 6 horns, but it appears she has only 2. The horns have fused , and the 3 horns on both sides of her head look like 2 impressive horns.

 Mally is licking & encouraging her new lamb to stand and suckle milk, the life-giving and life-growing elixir of all newborn mammals.

 Mally is very protective of her lamb, and I am unwelcome here.

Mother and son are doing very well. This little guy is growing quickly and is so much fun to watch.

Lambs ! 2011 Jacob Sheep Lambs

Delilah, my half Jacob and half Romney ewe lambed 2 /26/2011.

Delilah gave birth to one ram lamb who is mostly black and is now sprouting 4 well spaced horns. Delilah lambed the same day in the same place as Cedar Pond's Thora. I am pretty sure Thora had triplets, but somehow she claimed only one ewe lamb and left 3 little ones milling about trying to nurse from a very confused Delilah.

Delilah claimed two little ram lambs and they are thriving.

Thora and her little ewe lamb. 2/26/2008 ~ I am bottle feeding the lamb neither claimed, and Cindy is doing very well.

Sassafras and her ram lambs. 2/21/2011

First lambs born here and doing well. Cedar Pond's Viking is the sire.

Bide-a-wee Buttercup and her ram lamb. Buttercup is also the mother of last years' Cedar Pond's Barbarian who is for sale. Look at the horns already sprouting from this lamb's head, first day of birth, OUCH ! Cedar Pond's Goth is the sire of this lamb.

Bide-a-wee Chicory and her twin ram lambs born 3/3/2011. Cedar Pond's Goth is the sire of these ram lambs, Chicory and her lambs are for sale.

They are so cute, it is too bad they grow up into rams. A person can only keep so many rams you know.Anyone interested in buying Chicory will get these handsome ram lambs with her, they can be registered and should be magnificent rams.

Cedar Pond's Mara and her wee little ewe lamb, born 3/3/2011. Cedar Pond's Viking is the sire. Mara has 5 horns, two have fused together making it look like she has 4 horns.

Bide-a-wee Chicory and ram lambs.

Cedar Pond's Valkyrie and her ram lamb, born 3/17/2011.

Spots Of Distraction~

I am not the only one distracted by the little bouncing spots! This group of Jacob lambs surrounded a ewe ( you can't see the other 3 ) and they were running around her, one bounced off her. They bounded under her and in her way. Fortunately she is the mother of 2 of the 6 in the lamb gang so she knows to be patient, but really, aren't they just too cute and distracting?
