As of yesterday 3/30/2026 I had 6 lambs total, 2 black ram lambs, 1 white ram lamb, 2 while ewe lambs and 1 black ewe lamb. Now I have a newly arrived black ram lamb with a large white splotch on his head! I didn't think his first time mother was pregnant as she had had issues with parasites(worms) since the fall. Many times when a ewe is wormy, they don't get pregnant, but I guess I was wrong.
Another interesting thing has happened.... two of the lambs are growing HORNS! Now this is not unusual with the Icelandic genetics in my flock. One of the lambs is Blue who is a ewe and whose mother is Allegro. The other is Maker who is a ram and his mother is Music. They have very black horns! Over the last two years none of the lambs have had horns, but before that I was getting lambs with horns at least once every other year.
