I woke up at around 2:30 AM this morning and walked down to the kitchen to listen to the baby monitor for a minute and heard the tell-tale "mommy-talk" that always means someone has lambed or is going to lamb very soon.
I quickly threw on some warm clothes and trudged out to the barn to find Annie talking to her brand new baby - here is where it gets good. We didn't know if Annie carried the recessive black gene... If she did carry it, there was only a 50% chance that she could have a black lamb when crossed with Panda (who is black)... so we weren't expecting what we found.
Wayne is a VERY proud grandparent...
Wayne was so happy he gave Annie a hug...
Yeah! Such a beautiful baby. I must say, I'm jealous of that baby monitor thing as I'm walking outside every time I get out of bed to check goats.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations. She's beautiful! Look's like a winner to me.
ReplyDeleteOMG ... Congratulations guys! You can have no idea how thankful I am that my wonderful Panda bear left you with a keeper coloured ewe lamb!!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm ... makes me wonder if he may be extension dominant (which is not a bad thing at all, for my purposes). We'll find out over the next couple of years as we breed with him here.
So happy for you both ... but especially for Wayne ... :-)
