Siena is Sheltering Pines Cor de Nuit's daughter out of Pompey. We like this lamb a lot for so many reasons. She's probably as nice of a lamb as we've had born here. Great conformation, tail, and fleece. Her fleece has great density, like her mother's, and has great handle and crimp. It won't be super fine, but I do think it'll be between 24 and 25 microns as a yearling. Followers of our blog probably know that we would like our fleeces to be finer than that, but you'll also likely remember that we want our fleeces to be uniform from front-to-back with consistent fiber diameter throughout. She has all of that.
So, she's a good one, and certainly close to what we envisioned when we put Pompey and Cor de Nuit together last fall.

she's a lamb! She's huge! Nice color on a fawn kat.
Laura,
She's actually only about 50 pounds right now. That's about average for our lambs at this time of year. She does have a solid frame though. And yes, her color is pretty cool. We've not had a fawn katmoget quite that color before.
