Little Red, an Icelandic/Shetland/Barbados cross miniature sheep, had a baby today. It is a boy and the cutest little tiny thing, maybe not quite 5 pounds. I am not sure she is done having babies, but I think so. She did not lose her placenta when I finally went in for the night, so anything could still happen. She is a new mother, over protective and not quite sure. The baby was trying to nurse and she kept stepping away from him.
He is a Southdown Babydoll sired cross and the cutest little teddy bear since the Jacob Babydoll ewe lamb ram was born. They do look a little alike and one thing for sure, they will have beautiful fleece. Babydolls can and often do have fleece as soft as cashmere and Shetlands and Icelandics have lovely fleece too. The little ram has the same colouring as the baby ewe born to the Jacob, sired by Friar, a purebred Southdown Babydoll. The Fat Ewe Farm is privileged to have these hardy little beauties. They will be sold as pet sheep, but their fleece will be valuable to a hand spinner too. Welcome baby boy!
