Midnight -- Another Lamb!

On January 24, Sierra the Younger (as opposed to Sierra the Elder, her mother) had a ewe lamb. These pictures were taken a few days ago. Midnight, the lamb, is about 1 month old in them.

Sierra the Younger pursued life options other than motherhood for her first four years. She lived in Chino Valley with some Shetland ewes with nary a ram in sight. In August, she returned to my ranch, met a nice ram, and likely became pregnant the day she got here, considering that gestation is normally five months, and she gave birth a few days less than five months after she arrived!

Midnight is only about two weeks younger than Petra's twins, so they can all play together.
