Yearling 129T gave us a moorit gray ewe lamb, 232U with sire FFC-363P.
Yearling 116T, Clover, one of our Ormur triplets, had a lovely black ewe lamb, 233U. Clover was a little small going into the fall last year and we decided not to breed her. But she put on an amazing growth spurt and at the last moment we put her in the breeding pen with the Langidalur son BLW-138T. Wow, look at this ewe lamb! You would never guess that Clover was a triplet yearling!
Clover is a very careful mother and I've noticed that she always has her body between her lamb and everyone else.
Then our treasured Beauty, BLW-832R had her Grani twins, a black gray ram 234U and a white ewe lamb, 235U.
Our final birth was to quad BLW-613N "Beth" with sire Blettur. Look at this lamb! At first we couldn't even begin to decide what she is, but have concluded that she is a homozygous gray with very heavy flashing and rich phaenomelanin on her neck and haunches. Fanciest lamb this year!! Ewe lamb 236U.
On 4/21/08, another full day with three ewes lambing. First of the day is our Langidalur yearling, BLW-122T, bred to FFC-363P. Their lamb is a polled white ewe, 237U. She's a cutie!!
Then comes BLW-159T, another yearling, who gives us a white ewe lamb, 238U with sire BLW-138T.
When I was handling the ewe to worm and let them out, I noticed that she has the most amazingly soft and downy fleece! Even though 159T is a triplet born late in the season, she is doing a great job with her lamb. I love this breed!
Last of the day was BLW-768P, Topaz, who was bred to Ormur. It was a beautiful sunny day and I was raking up some old hay out of the barnyard when these jazzy, jazzy twins were born. First is the moorit spotted ewe lamb 239U, then the black spotted ram lamb 240U. On one side the ram has a jagged lightening bolt spotting pattern, and on the other, a reverse bull's eye. Wow! I don't think we have ever had spotted lambs like these. A friend says the ewe looks like a Guernsey cow and the ram looks like a Holstein cow. Here they are!
Check out his

April 22 we have two singles born to yearlings.
151T had a lovely black/gray ewe lamb, 241U with sire FFC-363P. A very careful mother, she had no trouble birthing or mothering.
Then at supper time, yearling Ormur daughter BLW-117T had the cutest black spotted ewe lamb, 242U.
Hopefully better pictures next time!
April 26th, more AI lambs. Our Buri daughter Flash, BLW-465M, had lovely twins with Mori. Black ram lamb 245U and spotted black ewe lamb 246U. Flash gives us outstanding lambs each year, and these two look to follow in their siblings' footsteps. Big, but easily birthed.
