One of the brown Romneys had a lovely white lamb yesterday,
a singleton. So it is back to the books
on the dominant colour theory. I think
that is the first time one of our brown sheep has not had black lambs.
So much for the
theory that brown is the dominant gene.
Later in the afternoon one of the Cheviots had twins
although the second lamb was stillborn.
Dave was right there and got them into the barn before the ravens and
eagles arrived. They have an uncanny
sense for such small tragedy and soon swooped in.
Safe in the barn.
Then Dave sent a
message early this morning to say another of the cheviots had strong, healthy
twins at dawn this morning.
Blossom is still hanging on to her lambs but appears to be
doing well. The small female twin born
on March 7 is also thriving despite my anxiety and her eye have cleared up well
as you can see from the picture below.
I'm O.K.
