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!
