More lambs!

The main lambing period is now over so I can catch up on some sleep and update the blog etc! Here are the next batch of lamb photos. The first pic is of Bethany before lambing, poor girl is as wide as she is tall! Guess how many lambs she will have - scroll down to bottom of post for answer!


Shetland Gooseberry with single black ram lamb

Shetland Ebony can;t be bothered to get up to feed her lamb!

A very wary Shetland Dahlia with her black krunet (white patch on head) ram.

Shetland Echo with her twins - she was reluctant to let them feed at first but got the hang of it after a few times of being tied up while I 'plugged then in' !

Shetland Old Black with Charolais x twins. These 2 are being supplemented with bottle feeding as mum has mastitis and not enough milk.

Shetland Robyn with twins, a black ram and a black gulmoget (light belly and legs) ewe. One visitor described the gulmoget lamb as the Rottweiler look!

Much to our surprise Shetland Bethany only had twins - we were expecting triplets from her enormous belly! Here they have only just arrived!
More lamb pics soon....
