But by the time I had made all these observations, she was finally waddling out of the gate into the yard. I watched her from the kitchen windows and noticed her trying to hide from the flock, each time getting farther and farther from the house. Not wanting her to lamb in parts unknown and unfenced, I tempted all the sheep back to the barn with some grain, and put Anna in a clean jug.
By 3:15pm she had lambs in the pen with her.
Meet Clennam,a grey ram with a gorgeous birth coat.
And this is Carys,my very last Bombarde daughter. I feel so lucky to get one more now that he is gone.
Being born is hard work!

Clennam has TREMENDOUS presence, especially for a newborn! And I'm so glad you got one more ewe lamb from Bombarde....
Thank you, ladies.
Julianne, we put Bombarde in the freezer. Just had too many rams.
Michelle is right about Clennam, nice looking boy! Does he have horn buds? And I envy you that gorgeous little white ewe lamb.
Hi Becky,
Yes, I think he does have horn buds. They are hard to find, but there is something there. Would love it if nothing became of them! But I don't think I should hold my breath.
In all other respects, he is the best looking newborn I've ever had here.
And I do love Anna Belle's white daughters!
