3/18/25 Flossie x Maxwell
Flossie led the flock this year producing 3 black rams with cute HST markings (Heads/Socks/Tails). Her udder was huge but her hungry boys are helping reduce it. Sampson (Green) and Samuel (Purple) are bottle babies. Sanford (Pink is a momma’s boy.)
3/18/25 Heliana x Oliver (lambs 66% Finn 34% Babydoll)
Heliana is a flock leader and she almost led the flock in lambing. She just had 2 lambs this year and they were big. Luckily (or sadly?) no bottle babies from her. Sawyer’s cute little forehead swoosh doe not disqualify his from being classed as black.
3/20/25 Daphne x Maxwell (lambs 69% Finn 31% Babydoll)
I was dubious but Daphne’s delivery of just 2 lambs gives the vet’s ultrasounds a bit more credibility. Beautiful twins birthed unassisted and nursing well.
3/22/25 Janessa x Oliver (lambs 66% Finn 34% Babydoll)
I have no explanation for how we can get a white lamb from 2 brown parents, but reality rules! Janessa had a difficult birthing process and lost 2 brown rams – one very undersized. We are happy with her live ram lamb, Sergio. She is doting on him – big time!
3/23/25 Elly Mae x Maxwell (lambs 75% Finn 25% Babydoll)
We were waiting for Elly Mae to drop her usual large number of lambs – typically 4, but are pleased with her healthy 2 that she is nursing all by herself. Daughter has an unusual black splotch under chin on her otherwise white self. These are/will be the highest Finn lambs of the season.
3/27/25 Daria x Maxwell (lambs are 69% Finn 31% Babydoll)
Daria chose to introduce her lovely twins to the world at 4:00 a.m. Little white girls – not as large as we feared for being 10 or so days later than we were anticipating.
3/30/25 Marla x Oliver (lambs 69% Finn 31% Babydoll)
4/1/25 Harriet x Maxwell (lambs 63% Finn 37% Babydoll)
4/2/25 Touey x Maxwell (lambs 66% Finn 34% Babydoll)
Touey (a.k.a. Fortuosity) had us out in the middle of the night & snow/sleet storm to help her dry off her lovely, not-so-little kiddos. We were surprised she didn’t have triplets but the lamb sizes explained her large girth. Both black, boy is Sylvester and girl is Sylvia. Pictures to come …
