Lambs have Mothers too...

They're almost as big as their moms, or so it seems!

Here's Clover and her ram.


Poa's twin ewes thought it would be nice of them to stand on her back while she was trying to nap. It looks like Poa really likes being a mom!

Crystal and her twin rams also decided to nap together this afternoon.


Kira's ewe really loves attention. She climbed into my lap this afternoon and took a nap with me!

This year we plan to register our lambs with the North American Shetland Sheepbreeders Association (NASSA). Our flock prefix is Old Home, meaning that all of the sheep born on our farm will have names beginning with "Old Home". Above is Old Home Madeleine Kunin.

Clarina Nichols and Annette Parmalee

Old Home Edna Beard and brother

Clover's ram is coming along nicely. He's got an excellent ram personality, great fleece, and classic katmoget markings. Unfortunately his tail's a bit on the longer side. We may use him for some of next year's lambs.
