Checked the front pasture about 8 am this morning and no new arrivals. Took the boys out to put hay out about 8:30 and noticed the new bull calf was taking advantage of the shelter while mom was off eating. I went down about 8:45 to introduce myself and upon exiting, saw that Martina had a little black lamb at her side. So then I spotted Eve and yes, she had her black lamb at her side, too.
Went over to check it out. Yay! It's another girl! She's already nursing and still a tad bit damp but mom's still doing her job. She is more of a dark chocolate, especially around the face. She has white pepper sprinkles on her head like Eve's lamb but they are very faint and small. Went and got a grain snack for Martina and a little drench for the lamb. Finally, we'll have a couple of babes the same age to play together. Guess Andes was in a dark mood this fall! Checked Kayla for udder development; I'm guessing she's about 3 weeks out as there is some development but nothing major yet.
Photos later.
