This little girl was born in the wee hours of the morning ... a spotted mioget ewe lamb out of WillowGarden Nicole Kidman ( a WillowGarden Garnish daughter), and Spring Water Lamb Friday (a WillowGarden Garnish son). Garnish was an awesome spotted, mioget, scurred katmoget ram with an AMAZING fleece! I lost him to a freak incident, so was excited to get the chance to buy Friday, his son.
I actually would preferred a ram lamb out of this breeding, but I am NOT complaining! As you can see, Nicole is a katmoget, even though she has no colour on most of her body. I'm excited to have a non-katmoget lamb out of her.
I expect that this lamb will be a keeper as well. Looks like there will have to be a few ewes on the sales list if I am going to keep some of these lambs!
Now ... I await the arrival of my Corlands ... Shetland ewes X with a Cormo ram. I can hardly wait!
Life is good!

Bill, I see this lamb (who is VERY flashy) is out of half-sibs. What considerations do you make when considering a cross this close? My best ram is out of one of my ewes and had a half-sister born this year; I'm thinking about future pairings.
wow... love these markings. That is some FLASH!
Been checking daily on your new lambs arrival. And happy to report my lambs are arriving too. Ia m so thrilled.
