Nelina has twins!


This morning as we looked out the window, Peter started counting the lambs and realized that there were two more than last night. Therefore, at 7:10 this morning we went outside and met the newest additions to our flock. Nelina our Romney ewe, who is 4 years old had twins sometime early this morning. Nelina is known for having single lambs this was an unexpected surprise. She had one ewe lamb that weighed 8lbs. and one ram lamb that weighed 7lbs., in the past her single lambs have been 14-15lbs.The biggest dilemma is naming the lambs. Gabrielle said that she has not picked out a theme yet for naming her lambs this year. Riley's theme is cookies and candy bars for this year. So, Gabrielle won't use that theme for her lambs. If anyone has suggestions for a theme please post it below.


Twin 1 and Twin 2
