![]() A big surprise last week - Holly had a beautiful black ewe lamb. I knew my white ram had a black mother but, being perfectly content with my white Leicesters, I wasn't consciously breeding for black lambs. In fact, I had totally forgotten that Holly had one great grand-sire who was black - all the rest were white. So it was a total, though happy, surprise to see this black baby in the hay. |
