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 ultrasound data 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. (Sebastian died of diptheria.)
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. Daria is doing her usual great job with her new twins. They are about as friendly as bottle babies even though they rely entirely on momma.
3/30/25 Marla x Oliver (lambs 69% Finn 31% Babydoll)
Marla was her usual unassuming self – giving birth in mid afternoon. Although both of the twins weighed over 9 pounds, she delivered them herself.
4/1/25 Harriet x Maxwell (lambs 63% Finn 37% Babydoll)
This year Harriet birthed her lambs unassisted and had reasonably sized kiddos – not too small and not too large. She’s attentive to the lively twosome.
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 jet black, boy is Sylvester and girl is Sylvia.
4/3/25 Maxine x Oliver (lamb 66% Finn 34% Babydoll)
We’ve been on pins and needles waiting to see what kind of mother this first-timer (with an attitude) was going to be. She’s knocking it out of the park! Very attentive/protective to her gorgeous mini-me, Sophia. She’s the only brown lamb we have to show for the season!
Deone x Maxwell (lambs 57% Finn 43% Babydoll)
Deone’s kids are the lowest Finn percentage of the Finn x Doll part of the flock. Little Simon was born shortly after midnight Easter morning. He had a twin brother who died of unknown causes so he gets all of Momma’s attention. Very cute little dude!
