Sunburst had a fantastic result, not only did he win the adult grey class he also won the adult champion (with eighty odd points)!!!! Yes a grey won the adult champion, anyone who knows anything about shows knows that in the main age championships are won by the whites or light fawns so for a grey to win is fabulous, and for it to be our grey you can imagine how proud we are.
To celebrate his success we decided to offer him his first lady! The lucky lady was Carol, a head strong fawn girl, who soon succumbed to his good looks and manly charm.
On the goat front I'm pleased to report that Nutmeg is proving to be a fantastic mum and is looking after all three of her kids. Wall flower is the only one left to go.
The last of the Shetlands birthed yesterday, she has had a tiny, and I mean tiny little lamb. I've named her pip squeak, who is currently living in front of the Aga. just to give you some idea of her size I've put the egg timer next to her for comparison

Pip Squeak looks tiny ! Hope she continues to do well, the Aga sounds just the right place for a snooze...especially as its still cold. Sunburst sounds like he might need a bigger black book for all those appointments .... Jayne
Congratulations for success with a well-travelled fleece! don't let that bee on Jaynes blog see your tiny lamb!
Congratulations on Sunburst's success, what an achievement, and at the National too. Good luck with little Pip
Alpaca matings are intriguing! I was astounded at how the male woos his lady!
