We've had another blessing, Licorice had her first ewe lamb!
After first, she was highly stressed and had a challenge recognizing her little one as something other than a rabid animal trying to attack her. Only after we segregated her with her mother and helped her to calm down and nurse she took to mothering without issue.
Her new little one looks nearly identical to her father - she has a white tail that differentiates her just a bit!

Watching the lambs run and kick up their heels together is such a treat! Our alpacas consider it their special job to keep their eyes on them and as often as they carefully sit while the little ones play, I'm sure they'll soon be mounds for the lambs to leap upon. I'm including a picture of Frost in full coat because next weekend he and Jack will finally be shorn! We'll have help with their hooves and teeth as well. I can't wait to start creating with all that luscious fiber!
