Eastwind had a lamb




PS23 Eastwind had a "black" krunet ewe lamb out of PS23 Craigrothie an F1 Skeld. She is an F2 Skeld.

My "summer" lambing has begun. I had 4 yearlings who did not have any udders when everyone else was lambing and I had left Craigrothie in until January soo I can have June lambs. One more is defiantly bred, but I can't tell with the others as I have not cought them and I can't see under there.

Edit:
Here is a picture of Craigrothie (from the winter.) He did have more wool on his cheeks, but I had to trim it off as he had decorated himself with burrs.

  6. Those are aberrant horns?

  7. Eastwind is an emsket yuglet, socket or HST. I think her lamb will be Sheala or Emsket. (Craigrothie's dam was Sheala.)

    Craigrothie has abberent horns and has thrown 3 polled ram lambs out of 2 different ewes. (He has aslo thrown many long scured ram lambs.) Craigrothie got his poll gene from Holy Hills Onyx his dam.
