A Mommy-Daughter Event: Cashew & Myrtle

Cashew lambed Sunday morning at 3:30.  By the time we made it to the barn, she had delivered a lamb.   We thought a twin might be on the way, and it was.  Slowly.  (But maybe it only seemed that way because I was exhausted at this point?)


Cashew's first lamb is another black ram with spots on his head and face.  He will lighten.  Cashew's second lamb is our first ewe lamb of the year.  She's black with a white spot on the top of her head. We've named them Ale (ram) and Cider (ewe). 

Cider & Ale

We headed back to bed, and I turned the sound off on the monitor. When we went back to the barn in the morning, we discover that Myrtle (Cashew's daughter, born in 2015) had lambed in the hour or so we were sleeping.  Her lamb is a single ewe.  She's brown with white marks on her face and head.  I don't think she will lighten, but I can't be sure.

Two more ewes lambed yesterday, but that's a blog post for another day.
