Our first lambing season and our first lamb.
A beautiful 4 pound lamb ram born this morning. Dam is Fibre Works ISP (nicknamed Issy) and Sire is Willow Garden Rex Harrison.
As you can see he's white with a few black spots, black around his
Another mature ewe was trying to granny him at birth, but first time mom and lamb are in a jug bonding. The mature ewe is still looking & calling for him, so I think she'll be the next to lamb!
A little "boost" for the lamb and he seems to be doing fine. He's a little slow at finding the teat and she, being a new mom, is a little unsure. All in all, he is warm and his tummy feels full. I'll keep checking and see how it goes.

I always love finding and adding new Shetland blogs to the list I check often for stories and photos. Your first lamb is a cutie; sounds like you're off to a good start!
Thanks! I hope I am not the only first time nervous nelly! ;)
Congratulations on your first lamb! A lovely little fellow.
Congrats! Bet he'll have a special name (or at least nick name) being the first born at Windy Grange:)
