Domino greeted me this morning with a very spotted black and white ewe lamb.

Her pattern reminds me of a black and white checkered tile floor. I’m thinking the name Checkers.

This is Domino’s second lamb. Domino is the daughter of Ewenique, one of my first ewes and is the only daughter I have from Ewenique. Ewenique always twins, has tons of milk and is an excellent mother. Kinda bummed out that Domino has singled again. If Checkers makes the cut, we’ll see if she singles or twins. I’m loving these spotty lambs!

Checkers is gorgeous! I don't know if this is true of sheep...but for goats they say that fall breedings produce a better chance of multiple births. :idunno Somebody oughta keep track of that, lol.

Ohh too bad they're not woolies, that would be way cool! Adorable nonetheless!

Ewenique is due anytime between now and whenever. Ewe code applies. She is waddling huge. Look closely on her left side, baby bump, one of her lambs is stretching. She comes to me for belly rubs, I can see her relax and sigh.... aahhhh....... LOL

Full udder, her ligs are soft and a storm is coming tomorrow night with up to 80 mph winds, 3” of rain and tornadoes. Sounds like twins on the way to me!

I always post pictures of Miranda Lambert when she is in ewe code. She gets huge, her udder looks like a cow udder and goaties oooh and aahhh over her bulging udder. So this is a picture of Miranda NOT pregnant. She has a big belly anyway. I call it a good spring of the ribs—lots of room for babies.

She is currently nursing 3 month old twins and still has a big udder.
