Thanks all! They are doing well and I have seen them nursing so that's a good sign! They already have large horn buds too. Kelly gets to name them because they are boys (I name the farm girl babies, he names the boys). Ninja and Zorro would be funny.

Gallesfarm - how can you tell that the sire carries spotting? I'm still learning about the genetics. Since the mom also has spotting, how do we know that he carries it and that they didn't just get it from her? Or, if he was homozygous for moorit (I don't even know if that's a trait that can be homozygous) then would the moorit have been dominant over the spotting? I am hoping that KitKat, who is moorit, has moorit lambs out of Thunder.

Luna HAS grown, and here's her favorite game now. Every time I bend down in the farm yard.
