MOBILE COUNTY, Ala. ( WKRG ) — An Alabama cattle ranch welcomed a newborn lamb on Valentine’s Day — and it showed.
In a Facebook post, the C-4 Cattle Co., a family-operated Texas Longhorn Ranch based in Grand Bay, noted that the lamb has a special marking on his head: a white patch of hair that looks like a heart.
“How perfect!?!” the company wrote.
According to ranch owners, the lamb was one of a set of twins, but was the only one with the marking. The other twin reportedly “looks nothing like him,” they said.
Ranch owners are looking to name the baby lamb with the heart — what else? — “Valentine” in the spirit of the holiday.
What happens to animals who die at the zoo?
The birth of the twins makes their mother, Chocolate Milk, a first-time mom.
Valentine and his brother, to be named Cupid, are registered Katahdin flock, according to owners.
“Katahdin sheep are a breed of hair sheep developed in the United States,” Oklahoma State University’s website explains. Hair sheep shed their wool rather than needing to be sheared.
