Meet Boston Lake Farm's newest little lamb:Esyllt
White Pine Arvada
Black Katmoget
x
Little Red Oak January
Moorit Katmoget
She is all I hoped for from this pairing:improved fleece,
tiny tail,
good conformation,
and a eweling!
not to mention my favorite pattern, katmoget
January had her all cleaned off, up standing, and eating by the time we found her at 6 am this morning. I'm so grateful for the Shetland mothering instincts. fyi: January is not a mutant buck-toothed Easter Bunny sheep. She has some hay on her lip. :)
She's beautiful! I'm so jealous, I've been home for the past four days, with no lambs! I swear they must be waiting for me to go back to work. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty; katmogets are so cunning! Tricky name there, though...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty and a wonderful Easter gift!

Hi Tifany,
ReplyDeleteJanuary waited until I gave up and went to bed at 4:53am. I swear the lamb was born as I walked away from the gate! :)
The name is easier to say than it looks, Michelle. :)
("E" like "egg") + ("syllt" like "seelt") emphasis on the "syllt"
It means "beautiful"
Thanks for the pronunciation Sabrina, I was wondering too. She looks beautiful. Katmoget lambs are so cute!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful in what language?!?
ReplyDeleteThank you for telling us January didn't have buck teeth-- I wondered!
Esyllt is the Welsh form of Isolde. And it is probably really pronounced much more quickly, less drawn out like I say it. I tend to say things very "Scandinavian"
ReplyDelete:)
HowEver you pronounce it, she is a beauty!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Sabrina!
this JUST showed up on my feed! YAY! She looks like a stunner Sabrina! I'm so happy you were able to get a ewe lamb out of Arvada!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, everyone!
