I'm also happy to report that I am all caught up on my paperwork! This means that I finally have a "keeper" list of 2011 lambs for whom registrations have been sent in (yay!). We are retaining 10 Shetland ewe lambs and 1 mule ewe lamb as well as two Shetland ram lambs.
This year's name theme for the girls was "Flowers":
By V Creek Leo:
(Daisy pictured above)
Violet - Black gulmoget out of Ewenique Eve. She may end up on our sales list at a future date.
Daisy - Grey yuglet bersugget out of Sheltering Pines Hope. She is the coolest looking ewe lamb we've had yet!
Holly - Black gulmoget out of WillowGarden Joan Crawford. Her twin brother, Oslo, was sold to another Shetland flock as their new flock sire.
By WillowGarden Wedge:
Poppy (L) and Ivy (R) / Petunia
Ivy - Black out of Valley Road Sarah. She looks modified to me. I have to confirm with Bill, the Shetland colour expert. :-)
Poppy - Black gulmoget, twin to Ivy.
Rose - Moorit krunet sokket by Wedge, out of Ewenique Bella. I loved this girl from the day she was born. I like her even more now. She is a definite keeper.
Lilly - Black gulmoget by Ewenique Daphne
Petunia - Moorit gulmoget krunet sokket by Valley Road Sierra. She may be for sale.

Ram lambs:
Mochaccino (pictured above) - Fawn katmoget out of WilloGarden Chocolantini. He will make an awesome flock sire for someone. I just can't bring myself to put him in the freezer so we'll keep him and put together a nice starter flock for someone in the Spring. :)
As yet unnamed - Grey *scurred* ram lamb by FirthofFifth Aman AI, out of RuisDair Elwyn. What a surprise this little guy is! When I realized he was indeed scurred, I was quite speechless. He is a bit on the small side at the moment but his structure is excellent and he's got a lovely lovely fleece. So, we'll winter him and see what he looks like in the Spring. Now he needs a name. Any suggestions?
