Next round ;)

Yesterday we got a foal, today we got the expected lambs ;) 
Around lunchtime I got a SMS telling me that my ewe was starting to have her lambs. Unfortunately I had to work till 3 o'clock so I couldn't just leave and watch.
After work, we rushed home, changed clothes, grabbed the camera (nearly forgot the memory card) and off we went. I was counting on getting two big white rams, but hoped to get at least some coloured lamb as the father is grey.
When we arrived in Hólmavað, Bensi was getting ready to check out Mysa a bit better as she still hadn't got her lambs. It was good he had a closer look as the first one had forgotten to bring it's frontlegs in the right position and so he had to help it. The first thing I saw was a dark foot... Bensi tried to hide it from me, but I already had seen it and was waiting for to see the whole lamb. It proved to be a light grey ewe, so I got finally after 3 rams in the last years a female and a different colour than white. The second lamb was even more of a surprise! I first thought, it was just bloody around the eye, but in fact it a dark spot. Lucky me got a spotted ewe too! She has small spots on her ears, a spot around each eye and three dark spots on her back. The little lady looks a bit like a "Kärnter Brillenschaf" an endangered breed from Austria.
Thanks to Ella, Bensi and the kids in Hólmavað for taking so good care of them! Special thanks to Rut for loaning her ram ;)
