Valerie

Miracle Max

Little lambs are soooo cute

Posted by Sharon

The lambs so far, in order of appearance (pictures @ one day old):

Buttercup

7 lb female twin born 3/30/09 ~12:00pm Violet x Roscoe
As of day 2, Buttercup is the most curious of the bunch. She acts like a llama!

Westley

7.5 lb male twin born 3/30/09 ~12:30pm Violet x Roscoe
Westley is a little more on the shy side, unlike his sister. It was hard to get his picture, he kept trying to hide!

Fezzik

9 lb male twin born 3/30/09 ~1:00pm Daisy x Roscoe
Fezzik is larger boned with longer legs than the other lambs, and has a much lighter fleece color as well.

Inigo

7.5 lb male twin born 3/30/09 ~1:30pm Daisy x Roscoe
Inigo is adorable, active and curious, but seems to be a little on the stupid side (even by sheep standards)

Princess

11 lb female single born 3/31/09 ~7:00am Tara x Roscoe
Princess was born big with a lush dark fleece and regal demeanor.
