I've just nagged himself again about getting the pics 'done' :roflanim: .......won't be much longer now hopefully. Both lambkins doing well although new Mum not got a huge udder there, but lambs seem contented at the moment.
(Hazlewood -Bit too much black on noses but none in any places there shouldn't be :thumbsup: . Look forward to your appraisal WHEN himself gets the pics done :innocent: )

Great result!!

Congratulations :thumbsup: and wel done mum :sheep: :sheep:

They look a lovely twin :-* . Strongly marked yes, but not over marked. Mine have gone a bit too grey, looking forward to using my new Hillside ram lamb when he becomes a big boy in the summer, he comes from a line with stronger markings. My fleeces seem to be a fixed type now so bone and markings are my next mission.

These are Ashwood's first lambs and he was out of Holly and by one of your Hazlewood Tups.....No. 13 I think??...but you'll probably remember ;)

The gimmer is going to be called "Cotton" (the girls are all named after something to do with textiles - I've got Braid and Batique from last year :innocent: ). The tup, if he proves to be a good 'un will be called 'Faithmead Cedarwood' (boys called after Trees :-J ) I've got Ashwood from 2 years ago but sadly lost Beechwood from last year :'( .
All fine this morning :thumbsup:
-

Thank you for all the lovely comments :thumbsup: . I think Hazlewood is well away with her Greyface Dartmoor lambing now, and so hopefully she's post pics very soon........although I think she's on sheep watch at this moment in time :innocent: .
