awww ... so cute, mine are all born balck with flash of white on head or cheeks and start to get there color as they get about 3 months, closest to skin. Also the older they get, their colors change as well. I wanted all white, could not find any, so I bred my Cheviot ewe to my Shetland ram. Worked perfet, she is small like a Shetland. Her fleece, all white. She has tiny tan spot on her face. I just love the Shetland breed so easy to manage. Hope you have a great lambing season! Teri
yay for ewe #2! :)
ReplyDeleteSince this ewe looks musket, maybe this ewe lamb will go grey? At least grey would be a different color than black!
ReplyDeleteMama looks proud!
ReplyDeleteahhhhh...email her to me!
