Patience

This little cutie is Abby's girl. She was the first baby born of the year, in the 3 feet of snow blizzard we had the 1st of March. She is what I've been striving for in my unregistered Pygmies for the last four years and you can see it. She's typey, structurally sound, proper markings, color, temperament and eveything. She is the only girl I kept back this year from my unregistered stuff so you know she's good! Her name is Patience as she has the patience (and time) of every other animal combined here on the farm. She will patiently stand and wait for me to pet her, scratch her or pick her up. She is a doll. When you come to visit, she'll be one of the first to greet you!

My babies!

Here are my babies! They are Cardigan Welsh Corgis. Mac (black and white with tan points), Oliver (the red brindle with tongue out all the time) and Sadie (red brindle with the 'pity me' look) are my heart and soul and my life would be empty without them. Sure the sheep are great to have too, but these guys have my heart. Just ask Sadie. I sold my Ford Focus last summer to pay for her surgery and rehab after my Granpa ran her over. She is completely back to normal and we are doing agilty and showing again. I can't believe she ever had the accident she is my little princess!

Jasmine's girls all grown up

Here is Jasmine and her twin girls. Man are they growing fast! I had the musket girl and was looking at the skin and base of the fleece and its nearly a cream color, with the moorit coloring on the last 1/2 of the fleece. The fawn katmoget girl is a lot like her mother, more aloof, while the musket girl is much more inquisitive of me. Both are NCWGA registered and will be retained.

Cleo's lambs

Sure I started to write about her lambs and can't find good photos of her black ram lamb. Both her babies are NASSA registered and I am for sure keeping her daughter. She has a moonspot that you can see on her back right flank, and she is a doll. Her brother is quite the spotlight stealer and loves to be scratched and sits in your lap. Both are extremely soft and very adorable. Also a photo of Cleo, showing her very minimal iset that has just appeared over the winter months. She is my softest ewe with a mircon of 24.2

Temi's ram

Say hello to a very adorable boy named Reese's Pieces. He has a small 'piece' of moonspotting on his neck it appears. He is NCWGA registerable and will be available for sale.

Rooibos' ram lamb Rolo

Well these aren't day old, but they aren't recent either :) Rooibos had the smallest lamb this year and he is still smaller than the lambs even born after him but he is VERY striking. He will be fawn for sure as he is already lightening up. Rolo is NASSA registered and will be available for sale.

Meleng's black ewe

This girl is going to be an amazing girl, I can already tell you that. Just look at that consistency in her fleece from front to rear!! She is also jet black, but being her dad is a modified fawn she could possibly go shaela, time will tell. She is NASSA registered and is being retained.

Maya's Ram

Since I haven't posted in awhile I figured I'd give you day old photos and more recent photos of each lamb. This dark moorit ram lamb is out of Winter Sky Tennyson and Winter Sky Maya. Both his parents are very low microned animals, I believe both to be 22 or 23 mircons. He is a very typey, structurally correct little boy with a nice set of horns starting to grow. He will be NCWGA registered and available for sale.

Buttons' surprise!

Winter Sky Buttons, a lovely yearling ewe gave birth this morning to a very adorable moorit ram lamb. Still learning the name game with patterns so I'll let you be the judge! I was just thinking about when she was bred and when she was to lamb and if in fact it was any time soon. Her and I must be on the same wavelength :) I walked in this morning to find him up and running around already! What a morning!

Cleo finally commits to lambing!

Well I can finally rest easy(ier). After what seemed like eons of waiting. Cleo was as big as a house and I was thinking MAYBE triplets, but she still decided to give me two. Interestingly last year she also had a black ram and a moorit ewe so now she is seeming to carry on a tradition :)

My very first lambs!

After what seemed like eternity and thoughts of doubtcreeping into my mind, my first ewe finally decided to bless me with not one baby, but TWO! And to top it off they are both ewe lambs and adorable! Jasmine Phoenix is a first time mother who is very attentive to her babies and I couldn't be happier with the end results! The first girl is a grey katmoget and the second is a moorit blettet who looks like she will go Ag and be a musket when older. Time will tell. I'm still learning the names of the colors :)
