Finally..........


Finally we have lambs at High Ridge.   Pia  had a set of ewe lambs yesterday.   They are a pound and a half different in weight, but both seem to be doing fine.    She did great for a new mother, since the whole thing was a total surprise to me.   Pia was my lamb who broke her leg when she was just months old.    Their dad is Bailey's, who Bubba resembles in color except for the stray white hairs on her head.   They are named Toonces and Bubba,  after our two cats that we had for nearly 20 years. 

 Darla is showing signs this morning of pre-labor, so maybe these two will have some playmates soon.

Twin ewe lambs are a great way to start off your lambing. Nice looking babies! Congrats. Hoping all goes well with Darla.

Is that little HST brown? What a cutie! T.

Yes, Tina, she is dark brown. I think she will be called Godiva because she is the color of semi-sweet chocolate. Her sister is cocoa- for milk chocolate.
