Naughty Lambs

The lambs were really, really badly behaved on shearing day.  They were fine during their long wait (except Pistachio--she attempted to knock the barn down), but when it was their turn to be sheared, most of them freaked out.  We should have known by the crazy look in Pistachio's eye...

Macadamia & Pistachio: beware the crazy sheep.

Now that they've been sheared, we can get a better idea of their grown-up coloring.  Some of the "brown lambs" aren't quite so brown. 

Cashew looks more and more like Calico

...And I'm still confused about Filly's coloring.

A brown rainbow: Tiffany, Pistachio, & Filly

Acorn, on the other hand, is darker.

"Badly behaved lambs?  You've got to be kidding me!"

No huge surprises from the boys, Almond and Pecan.  Almond's fleece is even nicer than I expected.  Pecan's fleece is not really black; it's really dark, dark gray--not a very dramatic difference.

Almond: chunky around the middle just like mamma.

Pecan: Taking after his Icelandic side

Peanut is still white (and she's nearly as big as her mamma, Elvira).

Peanut: Another mini-Sandy

Macadamia chose not to pose.  Perhaps she is feeling insecure about her tininess?
