Here is Hazel and her newborn lambs on Thursday. Hazel, being a first time mom did a perfect job! She lambed out within 15 minutes with no signs of distress and gave two adorable ewe lambs!
Hazel took to the task instantly and is very attentive to her young. Just the way a shepherd likes it. Both lambs are a bit smaller which is normal for a first time mom, both weighing in the 8# range.
The lambs are nursing and sleeping and doing all the attendant things lambs do. Eat, sleep, grow, eat, sleep, grow.
Betsy and I pulled a name out of the hat for the runner up prize and the winner is
Connie!
Please get in touch with me, Connie, so I can arrange to send your fiber to you!

Here is Georgia and her lambs yesterday. They ventured outside for a bit of time in the sun and some fresh air. We are having beautiful early spring weather. The sun is getting stronger, the air is fresh and the song birds are arriving daily. Isn’t Georgia the picture of a handsome mother ewe? I couldn’t capture on camera the little sproings the lambs did as they ventured forth into their new world but they sure did! Left is the ewe lamb, Stella, right the ram lamb, Rufus.
This is Neville….smiling is he because he has made some babes! He is a proud papa. Neville is one sweet CVM ram. And a handsome one to boot.

Betsy and I got together last night to visit and draw the name from the hat from the rest of the participants in Georgia’s lamb pool. Not to photogenic but we got the job done! And the lamb names are Rufus and Stella. Betsy’s current naming system is the letters of the alphabet. Now she’s looking at T and U coming up!
Congratulations to Manise! You win 2 ounces of roving from our dark brown Trinity! It’s a wonderful chocolaty brown.
Hazel still hasn’t lambed so place your bets in Lamp Pool #2!
