Peanut's Big Surprise

Twins!


I never expect my first time moms to have twins.  In my experience, it's rare for them to do so.  Peanut herself is a single, so it's even more unlikely. 



Peanut delivered her first lamb around 10 AM.  He's a white ram, and we've named him Aspen.  He looks like his momma (and other relations of Sandy).



The second lamb followed at around 10:30.  We've named her Acacia.  She's gulmoget (Shetland pattern that's dark on the top and light on the belly with markings by the eyes) just like grandma Elvira.  I think she's dark brown, rather than black, but she's so dark it's hard to tell. 



You wouldn't know by looking at them, but their daddy is Chert.
