You have an adorable Persian lamb this morning! I am going out to take pix is a bit. I walked out to the living room and noticed Bam with something black lying at his feet by the fence close to the house (where he likes to stand watch from). Yes, he stole the newborn and brought it up to the house. I yelled and he stood up, that lamb followed him crying and when it got to him it was looking for milk! Poor little thing!
It looks and feels like a poodle. J
He must have started licking it dry because it was not all full of goo. I picked it up and walked it to the herd up at the sheds and held it up and said WHOS IS THIS??!! Mom fessed up and I put them in the paddock together to bond. The afterbirth is still in one piece up at the sheds, so I am not sure why Bam stole the baby rather than clean up??
This baby is from your 2 year old ewe with the beautiful fleece. She was bred to a rare line ram to produce this lamb. I will check to see the sex. If it is female, you can breed it to Ivan. If it is male, you may want to show it and see if you can sell him as a breeding ram. J Lori
