Name the Baby Lambs!!

Please read everything before you suggest a name. The twins that are brown and white are already named. For the other lambs, please put the name of the Momma sheep down, so I know who the names are for. :) I have extended the deadline for lamb names until Sunday the 27th, since I don't have the prizes here yet. They are done and she is shipping them to me this weekend. For each Momma sheep someone will win a beautiful felted bowl like this one.



Two more baby lambs born 6/4/10
Another baby lamb born 6/5/10
Last baby lamb born 6/9/10

They are not all born yet, but we can start by naming the ones who are here. Remember, all of these babies will end up as meat.

Here is the first set of twins. They are both boys.
Their momma is Knit.




This next one is a single ram lamb. I love his markings. He has a brown ear and brown at the tip of his tail. He was born to Abigail. She is not being a very good mother, so I may have to bottle feed him. The Wonderful Neighbor children came over and helped my sweetheart to catch him and his Mom. We put them in solitary confinement for the night. She did let him nurse then.



The last two that have been born so far are twin girls. They were born to Woolsey.




This is Purl. She had her two babies on the morning of June 4th. The little brown one is a ewe (girl) and the white one is a ram (boy). I am going to name these two. I am going to call them Milk and Honey.





Joshua requested that I take this next picture. He did not want anyone to get the idea that he likes sheep. :)

Pepper had a little girl on Sunday, the 6th of June. We thought for sure she would have 2, but she had a single ewe lamb.


Rachael had her baby the morning of June 9th. She had a little girl.




Please leave your ideas under the comments section. I will add the other babies as they are born. Be specific of who you are naming. :) I will come up with some sort of prize. :) After the other contest is over, I will post the prize for this contest.

No lamb names, but I was thinking of you today because I know you're in Ohio but not sure where and don't honestly know where the tornados were but wanted to come and see if you were ok. Unfortunately, since you have not posted anything today, I'm not sure, but I am hoping that you are safe.
I guess I'll come by and check again tomorrow if I can....

You just have to name Knit's twins,
Knit-1 & Purl-2
How funny is that? (or maybe it's just me :)

Patricia said...

Oh, I love Milk and Honey or Cream and Brown Sugar. ;)

For Knit's twin boys, how about Henry and Mudge? My daughter reads the books.

Matthew said...

Well, since you say they will all end up as meat, how about Mutton and Chops for the twins? ;)

"Legga" could work for Abigail's offspring. Legga Lamb....yes, I like it. ;)
