A New Look for Lambs

21 had her baby the other day while we turned our backs.

​He is another almost all white lamb, the second one this season to look this way.  
Picture
He has the most unique markings on his face. It looks like he has a mustache and that someone has painted horns between his eyes and ears.

At the right angle he reminds me of a Dias de Los Muertos  skull.

It will be very interesting to see what the markings look like after his wool comes in.

Three New Additions

This past Friday Jesse and Alice went to a "back to farm auction" in hopes of picking up some new sheep. Jesse was brave taking a two year old to a livestock auction, but it was a successful night. The next morning we were ready to welcome the sheep to the barn.
Picture
Alice wore an appropriate barn outfit....... don't argue with a toddler when they pick out their clothes.  (If you look close, you can see her shoes are on the wrong feet!)
Picture
I peered into the trailer to find these three cuties looking back at me. These are Suffolk ewes, they were all born in January 2015, and have been with a buck for the past few months.  They are potentially bred with an unknown lambing date..... Have I even mentioned how much I LOVE surprises?
Picture
Suffolk sheep have an all black "smooth" face.  Our last buck was a Hampshire, and his offspring have a bit more wool on their face, we refer to them as The Fuzzies. Below is 22, a 2014 Fuzzy.
