For a first timer, Cashew did a great job. She delivered lamb #1 around 6 AM (right in the middle of a thunderstorm!). It's a little white girl who we've named Mimosa. She looks just like daddy Feldspar.
There was no long wait for lamb #2. Cashew's second lamb is a black ewe with gorgeous spots on her head. We've named her Myrtle. I'm not sure if she will stay black or lighten up.
Cashew had her little ewes up and nursing in no time. It's impressive, especially considering that these girls were quite a bit early. The other great thing about Cashew: she's so calm when I need to work with her and her lambs.
