Moxie and Cachia sort their lambs
Greener Pastures Moxie, the scurred ewe, had a lovely brown ewe lamb Grande Ronde Begga by Greener Pastures Revel. Sound Soays Cachia had the cutest little light tan ram lamb Grande Ronde Blegr by SaltMarsh Fenugreek. With them both lambing so close together, super mom Moxie keeps nickering at Cachia’s ram lamb, thinking she should have had twins!
Three babies hit the ground today, but only got pictures of two, the last was born 10pm tonight.

Yay! Finally got a ewe lamb! I was expecting twins out of Uma – but she popped out this huge gorgeous girl! Grande Ronde Birla out of Sound Soays Uma by Greener Pastures Revel.
Grande Ronde Birla - first ewe lamb of the season!
I watched Breta successfully lamb in the late evening, and I’ll have some more pictures to share, hopefully tomorrow. Sweet dreams…..
