Picking out our lambs

We picked out the 6 lambs we're getting - 3 Romney ewe lambs and 3 Icelandic ewe lambs.  We picked an assortment of colours so that we could have some variety in our future wools.   We really also wanted colours that would compliment the alpaca fleece.  
The larger Rommey lamb at the front is a single lamb (ie she wasn't born as a twin) and she is so much bigger than the other Romneys, who were multiples.  
We're getting them at Willow Farm, and Josslyn wants to wean them and then keep them for an additional month to ensure they are thriving.  We set the pickup date for July.  It seems so far away.
