My shearling had her first lambs yesterday evening - 1 x ewe lamb and 1 x ram lamb. The ewe lamb is the blacker of the two in the photos) All nice and straightforward and lambs a good size, strong and lively. She was a bit surprised at the arrival of the first but is an excellent mother to them both. Mum is a Ryeland x Charollais and the dad is my new pure Hampshire Down that I purchased in August 2012. Chuffed to bits with this first pair of lambs from him. 9 more ewes to go with 2 due at the end of next week and then at various intervals through to 15th April.

Lovely healthy lambs

. Interesting that mum looks more ike a Charollais, I have Ryeland x Charollais that look more like Ryeland! Maybe it depends on which was mum or dad ..
