Hello from Mr. Bingley, our gorgeous Hog Island ram lamb.
Our favorite Jacob lamb, this little guy is a four horn and has beautiful BLUE eyes. His friend, is one of our mixed Jacob/Montedale crosses. We use their fiber in our earache soother pillows. Which I have been using lately! I am updating this blog since I can't go outside, both of my ears are aching, so I am spending lots of time on the earache pillow! With some wool in my other ear!
Meet Felicia and her lamb from this spring, absolutely brand new! They are Jacob sheep, and YES!! They have horns,even the ewes do, they are not goats, SHEEP!! Cool, right? She is such a good momma! Her baby is really getting big now, and we are pretty lucky when we can keep him in the fence, because he is almost as big as she is. Funny, when she was a lamb we couldn't keep her in either. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I wonder if all the other mommas in the pasture are reminding her about that? In sheep language?
These are Doras twins, Kili and Fili, one boy and one girl. They are Jacob crossed with Border Leister. I think I spelled that wrong! They were born about 4 minutes before this photo. Their mom needed no assistance, but seemed happy enough to have us there to admire her beautiful new babies. Dora almost always has twins, but still manages to give us some great fiber each shearing time. check out her pretty color. To see Dora and her first twin, ask for one of our brochures on the fiber CSA, they have a sweet spot in it.
This is some red merino country spun by Jenn (me) and the girls. One of my favorites, and Great Grandma knitted me a scarf out of it! Coming soon-photo of me in the freezing cold winter with my scarf from GG.
