Well Spring is finally here at Pondview Farm! We had an extremely successful first lambing season, with 4 ewes producing 8 healthy lambs in total, we could not ask for better results.
First born was a giant 13 lb ram from our newest ewe, Callie. It was an AI pregnancy, the sire was Ormur. This gorgeous black spotted boy is now known as Hagrid, due to his size, and shaping up to be very promising looking already.
Next was Delilah who surprised me with ram twins, I didn't expect her to deliver so soon, but they are nice looking boys out of our ram Pistol, one white, and one lovely moorit badgerface.
Fifi followed the next day with twins, this time a ram and ewe, big and healthy, fast and easy delivery, the ram is white and the ewe black spotted. Both have particularly bright and shiny fleece.
Last and best of all was Delancey, giving us our first set of triplets, two ewes and a ram. All are healthy and good sized, mostly white, she did a fabulous job.
Nothing left to do now but spend lovely spring evenings watching the babies leap and play and grow. And of course, plan breeding pairs for next year!
