Today we changed some coats in the lamb pen and I just HAVE to share what I saw.
Duchess (Columbia/Hampshire Down)
Big Bertha (Polypay/Cormo)
Princess (Columbia/Hampshire Down)
This was a shocker! This little Cormo/Dorper ewe lamb (who still needs a name) gave me one of the biggest surprises.
Typical Dorper on the outside, but look what I found on the inside!!! Perfectly marbled.
Then we have Big Bertha’s twin brother (Polypay/Cormo)
The Dorpers just wanted to keep me on my toes (Dorper/Cormo) Looks like a Dorper to me
But look how fine this is! He takes after his Cormo daddy in the wool department.
I’m happy to have so many excellent fleeces growing out this year, I can’t wait until shearing day – 12 lambs with excellent fleeces and 14 more in the ewe pen :0)
I love this little ram. I have him listed for sale but I might just decide to keep him.
How about Marble for the ewe’s name. And were does one get a Tin Cat mouse trap?
