What is that I spy peeking forth from the woolly side of Miss Jacob?
Why, it is a new baby lamb!!! And, in fact, there are–
—two new baby lambs!!!
We don’t know what (boy/girl) they are yet. They haven’t been investigated yet.
They’re black now, but based on experience, I’d say they’ll turn brown.
Miss Jacob just thinks they’re perfect and that’s all she needs to know.
Here’s one of Jester’s ewe lambs from last spring. The Cotswold-Jacob cross wool is gorgeous. I love it. Rich brown color combined with the wavy wool. Can’t wait till this one is sheared this year!
Shearing time is not far off.
Whether anyone else is going to lamb, I don’t know. Nobody’s talking.
Or looking particularly pregnant.
Annabelle?
Jester? Could be…. Maybe….
Meanwhile, it may still be February, but with lambs on the place–
–it feels like spring to me!

I so love Annabelle. Can we just keep her as a pet instead of breeding her? She is just too cute.

Congratulations! I think of you everytime we pass a house nearby. They have sheep that love to dot the hillside. 🙂 We’ve noticed that it must be getting near the time of shearing as they are so wooly.

You must be doing something right since your farm life is increasing. I hope to have farm babies after I retire..hubby doesn’t want the responsibility….but I sure do. Gotta fence in more property this summer so that I will have room for them next year…Congratulations on the success of your farm. :pawprint:

Congratulations on the births! they are adorable, of course. Suzanne, do you ever dye and spin your wool and sell your yarn? I realize you already have a lot on your plate (!) but it sure would be nice!

Baby Lambs…so adorable.
Sheep are looking nice and wooly. You have a lot of fluff on the hoof!
I do hope you give spinning another chance as I fell in love with it and enjoy teaching others.

Oh, You make me miss our coopworths. There is absolutely NOTHING like newborn lambs in the field. I, too live in WV and love it even though we no longer have animals. I look forward to reading through more of your site.
