In May of 2024, Brownie had 2 ewe lambs.
On May 23rd, 2024, Brownie had two ewe lambs. One was mostly brown and the other was mostly black with some white markings. I thought that the black one looked like a little cow and so her name became “Little Cow.”
I ended up calling the brown lamb “Chocolate.” As the months have passed, she looks more and more like her mother. Her brown color faded and there are times when I get the two of them confused.
I was also surprised by how much Little Cow faded with time. By the time she was sheared, her outer coat had faded some and her undercoat was a dark gray. Now that she has been sheared, she appears to have changed to gray. The undercoat still looks dark gray but the outer coat looks like a light gray. She still looks different from the others but as time passes the sun seems to be fading their coats so that they are less distinctive from each other.
I’m really looking forward to seeing them with their own lambs next spring!
