This post is spotlighting the lambs sired by Swallow Lane Barnaby. This little cutie is the last lamb born here, very recently. She is the first lamb of Cedar Pond's Saffron, and I have named her Sesame. I really don't see her sleeping much, she is very active and keeps up with the much larger and older lambs quite easily.
Sesame's tail is 'bout ready to drop off , looks funny doesn't it?
Here is Tilda, daughter of Barnaby and Cedar Pond's Thora. Thora is Goth's twin sister.
Close-up of Thora. Although I did not get a picture of her tail here, she was born with such a short tail I did not dock it. I kind of like her tail that way.First lambs who's tails I did not dock were born this year. It appears that the ewes bred with Barnaby produced lambs with much shorter tails.
Another view of Tilda. ( above) Tilda has 4 horns.
This is Pixie, so named because she is tiny, like her mother Ruth and sister Mally. This very tiny size seems to run in this particular line of my sheep. Pixie's mother is Cedar Pond's Ruth.
It is hard to tell here, but Pixie is brown. Not faded black, but chocolate brown, with light eyes.Pixie has 4 horns.
You can almost tell here how brown she is in comparison with her mother Ruth. Ruth has 4 horns, 2 on each side. The horns are fusing to look like 2 fat horns on each side. Pixie's sister Mahlon ( Mally) has 6 horns.
Dinah is 3/4 Jacob, 1/4 Romney. Dinah is the daughter of Delilah and Barnaby.
I think Dinah is cute too.Note , she has no horns, or is 'polled'.
Dinah posing so properly.
Here is Viking, son of Swallow Lane Barnaby and Cedar Pond's Valkyrie. Valkyrie has 5 distinct horns. Viking is very handsome and a strapping big ram lamb with promising horns. All 4 are well formed and spaced thus far.
Sassafras with her little ewe lamb. I have not settled on a name for this ewe yet. She is the other lamb who's tail I did not dock because it seems short enough. She has 4 horns too.
This little ewe lamb does have a lot of black on her, doesn't she?
There you have it, Barnaby's babes, and a lovely group of lambs they are.
