The baby lamb named Bella was born on May 8 and was the last ewe of the season for Dana Lovell.
"She's 3-weeks-old and she is three-quarters Polypay and a quarter Suffolk," Lovell said, holding the lamb on the Johnson Goat Ranch.
While the image of the lamb conveys an optimistic feeling due to its uncanny resemblance of a creature smiling in its moment of just entering the world, Lovell said the day didn't start out that way. Lovell said during birth, Bella's tongue was visibly blue, and appeared to be distressed.
"The baby was a little bit distressed so my daughter jumped into the corral with me and I held the ewe and she helped to gently pull out the lamb," she said.
However, the birth was a success, and while Bella was in her first moments of being ushered into the world Lovell snapped a photo. She originally planned to just share with her girlfriends of the last lamb of the season. But after posting the image on Facebook, it exploded with popularity.
"I had no idea that it would, you know, spread the way it did," she said.
