Please feel free to post your own, here are some of my first lambs this year. Apols for apparent fog to the right of the pics; muck on lens, I've cleaned it off now. ::)
Dad's a Shetland (jaykay's Chad), Mum is 'Dora', 1/2 Shetland (to Chad's great-grandfather, actually), 1/4 Charollais, 1/8 Beltex, 1/16 BFL, 1/16 Swaledale
This year she's had one of each again, a musket katmoget girl (like her Daddy) and a katmoget boy who's currently silvery but I expect will go white.
All without any drama; lambed herself last night, around dusk, lambs up and fed when I checked at 7.30pm. Fit, full and active this morning - and the wee boy's wee nuts are large enough to snare, which is a bonus!
-
this is my cutest pic this year! :)
-
Love lambies with markings :love: makes life easier whos who ! Enjoy !
-
Yay- keep the lamb piccies coming. Mine aren't due for another 2 1/2 weeks yet (can't find an "impatient" emotiwossit!)

Lovely! :D
I had one so pleased with his sheepskin rug, he wouldn't get off even when Mum stood up and walked around! I only had my phone with me, and no flash, so the pic is truly awful. So awful that it was suggested I enter it for a Worst Picture competition! :huff:
However, for what it's worth, here it is (annotated, because you can only see Mum and lambie when you know where they are! :D (I think it'll work best if you click on it to maximise it, look at what's in the circles, then click again to minimise - I think you'll 'see' the whole thing then.)

Little orphan Annie in her fetching pink sock- jumper!

Not the best pic, will replace if I can get a better one.
This will be Sadie's last year :'(, and she's done her best to replace herself with this strikingly marked ewe lamb!
-
A lovely Easter surprise for us yesterday! :thumbsup:
-
Here's a couple of mine at a day old. I'm glad to say the little weedy one is doing a lot better after a fairly rough start: his mum was so enamoured with his big sister, she ignored him. A dose of kickstart followed by spectam and he's as bouncy as a rubber ball now!
-
Love the pics guys, especially little orphan annie..... soooooo cute! I hope you don't mind me adding mine https://twitter.com/Tammypuddleduck
