Well, look who was hiding a recessive spotting gene! Libby surprised me with a black & white spotted ewe lamb (8 lbs.) and a big white ram lamb (10 1/2 lbs.) out of Mjaldurson on April 1st. The ram lamb is reserved and I will be keeping the ewe lamb.

Agatha did it again - a set twin ewes, one black/grey and one moorit/grey, both 8 lbs. (born April 2nd)  What an awesome ewe she is! Their sire is the Pelison. I am keeping the grey moorit ewe and the other ewe is reserved.

Another star this season - B.Mae who is only 11 months old, was cleaning off a 6 1/2 lb. ewe lamb this afternoon, when I went to gather eggs. And what a lovely ewe lamb out of Tulison. Then she laid down and delivered a small (3 1/2 lb.) stillborn ram lamb (obviously dead for a while). So another ewe twins this season before her own first birthday. She is an excellent first time mom, very attentive to this new daughter. I am so proud of her! I have to keep this lamb.

If they're going to grow them big, they better be able to lamb them! Patsy has had her 2nd very large ram lamb in her career. But she did it herself - and an 11 1/2 lb. ram with huge horn buds is not an easy task for any ewe. This ram really has it all - with his sire being the Mjaldurson - he has herd sire potential to contribute meat, fleece, prolificacy, milkiness, fast growth rate... all the things Icelandics are known for. This ram is reserved.
