Had to share these lovelies with you. There may have to be a follow up as too many nice pics to choose from.
First is Daisy's ewe lamb, one of the prettiest we've had. Second is one of Bernice's ewe lambs. On 'G' names this year. Thought maybe Gerbera for Daisy's. Haven't thought of one for little miss snooty yet!
-
They are so sweet, the lower one looks like a Gertrude or a Geraldine to me..... :excited:
-
Hmm... I like Gertrude. Sounds quite snooty.
Here are some more. Golightly-she's ever so cheeky, very in your face and "Ullo watcha doin?"
Grace was our firstborn and named after a good friend's grandaughter by special request.
-
Very sweet.
-
Gladys for Miss Snooty?
-
Lovely lambs :thumbsup:
-
Thought I ought to give the boys a look-in. No names please as they're destined for you-know-where eventually. I've named just one who's been rejected by his mum and I've been bottle feeding (not pictured) He was Runty (I know ::) ) then Little Man ('cause he's erm...a little man) and then out of the blue Gabriel popped into my head. Couldn't get rid of it then could I! He'll have to stay obviously. I've become mum now. Even without the bottle he's at my heels. I've just given him a feed and I had to wait until he'd settled down and tippytoe away.....sshhh
Thanks Yorkshire Lass. May use Gladys on another but Gertrude gets my vote for Miss Snooty.
-
:thumbsup: So sweet.
-
They are just gorgeous! Gertrude suits Miss Snooty!
-
Absolutely gorgeous :thumbsup:
-
Awww......all beautiful. I like the ram lamb too. Have you castrated him? Do they all have white on their heads - can't remember if your ewes had this?
Will ring you soon, Amanda. x
-
Castrating ALL the boys this year so wethers available only. Just can't take the risk of being left with yet another ram ::) He is gorgeous though isn't he? Some have white some don't. Bethanie's little girl has the most white we've had yet on her head.
It'll change as she gets older though and diminish/blend in as she silvers up. They often get white around their eyes as they mature.
-
They so have the cute factor.
-
Bethanie's lamb has the same markings as one of my pygmy goats. When you see all these gorgeous lambs, it must make those sleepless nights seem a little easier!!
I bet Edward our little intact pygmy kid would like to play out with the lambs :) I think he is lonely. He tries to play with his big brother, Finlay,but Finlays a bit too rough at times.
-
Ooh I think Miss Snooty should be Genevieve
-
Aww they are lovely Amanda :love: , I've got some cracking Gotland lambs too this year! I need to let the wethers go, but one is soooooo friendly and my hairdresser said I've got to call it Sam (after her) so it can't go to you-know-where ....... :-\ - so difficult with the friendly ones!
-
Ohhhhh. Genevieve's good. Ok you lot gimme some 'G' names. You may come up with ones I've already thought of but I hadn't thought of Genevieve or Gertrude. Got to think what they'd be shortened to also. Gertie and Gen work. Right, off to see if sheep have stayed where we left 'em. All over the field in the pouring rain in the dark earlier. THAT was FUN!!
-
Gwendoline :sunshine:
-
Gwendoline's good :thumbsup:
-
What about, Gabrielle :thumbsup:
-
Another one I hadn't come up with. Might add an 'a' on the end though. Shortened to Gabby. I like it. :-*
-
They are incredibly cute! Grace? Gretal? however you spell that! I have a snooty looker called Primrose :)
-
I have a Grace my lovely. Like Gretel though. I'm fairly sure that's how it's spelt ;D
