Triplets
As I had suspected, the younger barbados ewe had been carrying three little lambies. She is a younger heavier ewe, and a first time lamber - so this is a bit of an overwhelming experience for her. Her mother is the purebred barbados who twinned earlier in the month, and her father was a barbados x dorper cross. The 1/4 dorper blood makes her bigger and apt to throw some really interesting colors on lambs.

ReplyDeleteI love that breed. We have some dairy goats and sometimes toy with the idea of getting a few hair sheep. Yours are gorgeous!!
