Our first spotted lamb!!

Yessiree!! Been awhile since we've had an "Our first --" post!

This little dude made his way into the world early this morning, and he represents Our First Spotted Lamb. He is as yet unnamed, but I'm pretty sure he's a keeper. His dam, Silent Babette, is a pure Harlequin, and his sire is our super-spotty Babydoll Southdown, Ike.

Babette and baby are currently hanging out in our chinchilla room, where the lighting is sub-optimal, so the pictures kind of make them look like swamp monsters rather than adorable sheep ... But trust me, they're cute in reality.
