My New kids

Velvet had 3 beautiful kids around 7.30pm last night.  Had to get local sheep farmer in as one kid was across the exit.

Two girls and a Boy.   ;D

I think it's BT boys that Diane has, so the kids should be BT. They are nice dark one's though- but they look damp in the pic so will probably have dried a little lighter.

Yep only BT's for me.  In that photo they were fresh fresh / brand new :) 

The mother "velvet" is quite a dark brown and so far all her kidds have been nice and dark. 
The larger kid this time, a girl, is a bit lighter.  I will get some photos tomorrow.

Last year she had a billy which I have kept,  he is a lovely dark colour and well marked :)

Oh I can't wait for mine to kid - five weeks to go. My BT type girl is lying down an awful lot, I think it's definitely twins at least, she's getting quite large. Udder is also starting to come out a bit again...

The GG's are a lot neater, so probably only singles again....
