Opal's Amazing Feat (with help from Mist)

Opal did something pretty amazing Saturday.  Not only did she have two babies, but she (with help from Mist) welcomed a grand-baby as well.

We watched Opal for awhile on the monitor Saturday.  When I decided to head to the barn, there were no lambs...when I arrived at the barn, she had delivered two lambs.

 Opal's first lamb is Peppermint Patty, a solid brown ewe.  The second twin is Junior Mint, a ram lamb.  He is white and brown spotted, and as his name suggests, looks quite a lot like his father, Cisco.



Mist lambed later in the day.  Her lamb is Milky Way, a single moorit katmoget ewe.  She has a few spots as well.  When Milky Way grows up, she'll look a lot like her grandma Opal.
