Lamb News

Here is Jasmine, chewing her cud and feeding her two little ones. Without a head shot, I can't tell them apart. I think Basil is on the left; his tail has a spiral perm at the very end, (although not for long)!


Jazzy is wonder-mom. She is more tolerant of other lambs than most ewes, and one of Latifah's has taken quite a liking to her. They call to each other when they are first let out together. Occasionally these three can all be suckling from Jasmine (quite a feat when you consider that ewes only have two teats ;-) ..)


Here are a few shots of the white lambs; I'm considering marking them with initials on their foreheads so we can tell them apart from the front. Other than Peppercorn's black eyepatch, all identifying features are at the rear! I do know the first photo is one of Latifah's two ewe lambs because the two of them LOVE the mud and race to it as soon as they are let out. The other two lambs step carefully around it where possible. Go figure. I think this is Coriander.




Here's Rosemary (other owner of blackened knees!):




Basil:


And Peppercorn:




And finally a quick video of our lab puppy .. er .. Tarragon. I'll try and get better footage. He's a riot.
