Our First Lamb

Here is our first lamb born to Delia and Rambo. She is 3 days old in this picture. She is a black mouflon and I feel horn buds, but we'll have to see. There is polled (no horns) ancestry on the sire's side.

I found her early Monday morning. Delia had been nesting all day Sunday ... staying close to the barn, not eating much. So Sunday I busied to get the post delivery stall ready for her and all lambing supplies ready. She only had one lamb this year after a tough breech delivery last year of one of her twins. I was happy for her easy and unassisted delivery!

Here are pictures of Rambo, her sire (solid black) ... this picture is last fall, so he's grown quite a bit since then... And Delia, her dam (moorit mouflon). The ewe is available for sale and will be ready to leave the farm early July.

We aren't expecting our next lambs until the end of May ... kind of an unorganized, unplanned breeding season.
