We've got twins!

Post: # 51962Post tracey »

I haven't uploaded the photos yet (getting a bit lazy with that!) But they are on my blog if you'd like to see!

Taffy is a first time mom, one of my East Friesian dairy sheep. We came home just as she was dropping the first lamb, so ran inside to grab my boots, DD grabbed the camera, and we got pics of number two being born :thumbright:

And you can witness the whole slimey, gory mess if you pop in and visit (I'm sure you can hardly wait to see the whole slimey, gory mess, right?)

Hi Tracey, you must be the happiest mama. Great pics.

Even the slimey, bloody ones? :shock: Thanks! :mrgreen:

I'm afraid I've become rather lazy about uploading photos to photobucket, since I don't have to in order to get them onto the blog. So thanks for taking the time to follow the link!

MillyMollyMandy, yes, I do make the soap. With sheep milk; hence the 'ewe' names :happy7:

And they just keep getting cuter! This is Orhen. He's the friedliest of the two. I think my daughter wants to keep this one as a pet.

I'm not surprised! I would keep all of them, which is why I don't keep sheep!
