More lambs! (2019 lambing - post #7)

This ewe hogget really surprised me with twins on Saturday evening!!

Both are ram lambs, and weighed 3kg.
Both moorit, though pretty dark moorit.
Not sure which Agouti locus allele(s) they show, but I think it will be one of the "blue" ones!

This is only the second time (in two decades) that I've had a hogget have twins. The first time was four years ago when the great-grand-dam of this hogget had twins (the female twin from that set of twins is the paternal grand-dam of this hogget)! This hogget was also from a set of triplets (the second set of triplets that her dam had).
