Look who I found this morning at 6:30 when I checked the barn. This is a single ewe lamb from Rowan. She is dry and well fed, and looking pretty perky I think. :^) Her name is Lourdes.
Her sire is Lanark also, making her 25% Carryhouse R1, 12.5% Laird, 25% Loyalty.

Probably about 35 Bluefaced Leicesters (what are lambing now) and about 60 Katahdins. The Kats won't start lambing for another month.
We had another ewe lamb this afternoon from Ballad, but I have not taken a picture of her yet for the blog. She is loud and really cute.
