Friday morning, Mickey delivered a bale of hay to the sheep before he left for work. When he returned to the house, he announced to me, "Well, the bad news is, we only have six sheep." I did some quick calculations. Six sheep... last night we had four sheep... that means -- Lady had twins!
Laufeia, the eweling, was born larger than her brother.
She is brown and has a beautiful face.
Loki, the scrawny ramling, is nevertheless consistently more active and more adventurous than his sister!
He is grey, and you can already see where his horns will grow.
Here...
...comes...
...trouble!
He is even trying his hand at eating hay already.
Roscoe was soooooo excited to meet the lambs!
Lady is a very attentive mother.
It astounds us that the Shetland sheep hardly notice the snow, or the cold, or the wind.
While three pregnant ewes wait in the wings, we have been enjoying watching Lady's beautiful twins!
