2014 Clun Forest Lambs

Return to Current Year Lamb Page

   We had 8 lambs, 6 are ewes and 2 are rams. We kept all 6 of the ewe lambs and Treat's ram lambs.
   We choose our 5 best ewes to have lambs this year. Treat, Fancy and Forest all have beautiful natural colored fleeces and Chocolate Chip and Fen have nice white wool.
All of these ewes are healthy, hardy and have good wool.
   Here are photos of the ewes and their lambs.
