These two little ones were born April 1st ... Dull(ram) and Cloudy(ewe). I am, at the moment, kind of disappointed with their fleeces. There dam is WillowGarden Macaroon, out of Great Plains Sarah (F1 Lightning) and Bramble Nick (a high percentage UK ram). The sire, though is WillowGarden Sudbury, out of WillowGarden Absolut (TONS of great UK genetics) and North Wind Holiday (F1 Holly). Sudbury had the MOST disappointing fleece at birth, but it sure changed into one of the best as he got older. I'm hoping for the same from these two. I DO have someone after three whethers, and Dull might be perfect for a fibre-pet home.
Then EARLY this morning (April 3rd) Neir Lakes 315405877, bred to Spring Water Friday, gave birth to these gorgeous ewe lambs ... WillowGarden Windy ...
and WillowGarden Warm.
There are several more ready to pop, so nothing gets to stay long in the jugs. Besides, in this glorious weather, they are better off being out in the sun, rather than locked in a gloomy barn!
Life is good!

Great pictures! Thanks for sharing!
I feel that "Dull" is starting off with a bit of a disadvantage! Poor lil' fella!
Good stuff! Some lovely lambs there. I'll bet those fleeces will improve and even out as they get older. The "baby hair" often masks a good fleece.
What a beautiul bunch of lambs. I really like the last two, especially the white one. Talk to you soon, Michele
