Lamb Art

114_1477

Cocoa,  flock matriarch and one of our original sheep, surprised us with triplets on Sunday (thanks to an unauthorized visit from cormo ram Trumpet last November).  Here are her little ones:  Helena, Orlando and Paonia.  The wild-looking harlequin fleeces are Cocoa’s signature.   I think of them as lamb art.  They are pretty intense. 

She delivered all three without a bit of assistance and, true to Cocoa-form, is handling everything like a pro.   Not bad for a ten-year-old ewe!
