It turns out that Ruby was the first "pet" to deliver a lamb here at Struan Farm. She looks to be a good mum, think I can take some credit for that as her adoptive mum! Or perhaps it had something to do with all those healthy apple treats.
She was followed a day later by Rosie and Pepper, both of whom had twins!
And last but not least, Pip also had twins:
We'll have to wait to see how socialised these "pets" remain to decide if their lambs will also get names. (I haven't gotten close enough to see genders.) I still don't know if Cookie, Tootsie or Minnie, this past year's pets, will lamb this season. They're down at the river with the later lambing ewes. Stay tuned!
