A NEW BABY LAMB TODAY!!!
Today is a happy day for my people!
The Jacob's Sheep that we picked up a while ago had another baby today. To be able to purchase such sheep for $100 each is pretty good anyway, but when some of them are pregnant, it is all the better. Here is the video that Pinkie-Pepper and I shot this morning when we saw that we had a new one!
VIDEO: WE JUST FOUND OUR NEW LAMB!
THOSE CUTE BABY PHOTOS FROM THE FIRST DAY
Here are a few photos that I took when we first found the new lamb. At the moment, I haven't even sexed it to see if it a male or female. Monster Truck and Sweet-Pepper say that they think it is a female, but we will see. So far, we are just happy that it is alive and well, and that its mama is taking good care of it.
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Happy and well. That is what we are looking for.
I guess it happened last night.
Keep on steemin'
Must have happened last night or early this morning. I'm just glad that it went well. Thanks man!
I'm glad they're happy that he's alive and well, and that his mother is taking good care of him.
Us too! Thank you @salomonca!
WoW.... that really is a cute baby lamb.
Also, Good job with the photographs, but You always tend to take very good photographs.
Quick Question... when a lamb has black markings around the eye... why is that preferred ?
Congrats to You and hope all the other Peppers are doing well.
Cheers !!
The markings around the eyes are preferred because there is a breed standard. The sire of this heard doesn't have the black markings around the eyes or the muzzle, and he also has the white colored horn's, which is throwing off the genetics of this flock. I'm going to swap him out this year and allow a true sire to breed the flock this fall so next spring the kids should be more in line with what the Jacobs sheep breed is supposed to look like.
Not all the words are accurate and that part above, but it was the talk to text.
Thank You Papa for taking the time to explain...
Cheers !!
No problem! Thank you for asking!
sooooo nice!! :-))
Really nice indeed! Thank you @mikelffm!
We have looked at this sheep. How do you think they compare to boer and kiko breed goats? Are they good with the high heats? Have you had any of them need their horns cut so they don't curl back down into their face? Thanks for the video.
These are good, and might be neck and neck with Kikos. If the genetics are good, the horns should grow in better directions. The plus to these would be they won't jump as high as a goat, but the plus to Boers or Kikos is no shearing in the spring.
Yes shearing is not something I have wanted to deal with yet. I have looked at sheep that shed since I am in a hot area. Thanks for the response and for the article information.
Adorable lambs and I'm glad that in a few cases, you ended up getting a 2fer (ewe & lamb).
Gotta love the 2fers!
You melted me with those baby lamb photos! 🙂
