I got kitttens!! (Shetland X lambs ;) )
« on: March 30, 2013, 07:46:16 pm »
At 145 days, my first-time Manx Loaghtan gimmer, DC (Dot Cotton), spat out two perfect Shetland X lambs, one of each.   ;D  Both fed, she can count to 2, I am a very very happy bunny. :excited:

And... the ewe lamb's fleece is soooo soft!  :knit: :excited:   Charcoal grey above, even darker below - Dark grey katmoget?

The tup lamb, who is less all round, is a lighter grey but still, I think, katmoget?  His fleece is closer and harsher.

Next Manx x Shetland are not due for a month - Pricket rejected Jack Frost and managed to spring black Zebedee from a locked stable!   ::)   

The two Charollais X hoggs are due to Jack Frost in a week to 10 days.  Can hardly wait!   :excited:

Oh how adorable! They do look katmoget to me, and you will (probably) find they will lighted up a shade or 2 as they mature, but there are smashers :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

But it's here, and it's happening.
Massive,

Bring the peace back
