I have a ewe due early January. She has looked pretty much the same recently, big belly on both sides. Just recently her stomach has completely changed. One side looks like is not pregnant at all, and the opposite side is huge and very low hanging. She struggles to get around, walking is hard...
The thing is, he is not ramming it, just pushes on it. and drags his sides across it . He knows the weak points and try to push the corners apart :idunno
Hope everyone is doing well. Christmas will be here before we know it. Im glad I finished all of my Christmas shopping...yay Amazon lol . The sheep are good, weaned my ram lamb, he is hanging out with the wether and they seem to be getting along really well. I like having a wether, he is great...
I haven't been on here in a while. I have been so busy with my school and the kids school I dont have time for much else. I figured i would add an update. The triplets are doing well, all three are growing nicely. My older ewe lambs have really matured nice and I cant wait to get everyone in the...
Olive finally had her lambs last week. Triplets, two ewes and one ram 🥰 the ram was 10.75lbs and the two ewes were around 7.87lbs . They are growing so fast and momma is doing great feeding all three.
I wanted him for a show ram, and most of them are very tall. I'll keep him till next summer to see how he grows. I'm trying to add in more height and this guy is not fitting the bill right now lol
I'm trying to hold out hope that this guy will get taller. His sister is long,tall and lean. He , though built nice in my personal opinion he is short :lol: fingers crossed for a growth spurt. He makes me think of an english bull dog, very wide and short 😂
His sister...
They are both out of the...
We finally got some rain last night, boy do we need it. I cannot believe how dry it is here. I dont think we have had to mow the lawn in over a month. The pasture is not handling it well, we have made sure to keep rotating so that some of the grass gets a chance to grow. Its so dry the grass...
when our last lambs were born I believe it was -2 🥶 Thankfully the ewe is a good momma, and had him cleaned up and nice and dry by the time I got down there.
I dont have a fence stretcher, is the field fence still something I can do without one? Can I attach it to the T posts that are already there? Right now I have 5 lines of poly wire that we are really starting to not like.
Has anyone fenced their whole pasture with cattle panels? If yes did you like it? if no, why not?
Rolling around this idea for our main pasture we use in the winter.
I have heard that term! I hope so. She was exposed to the North American International Livestock Exposition Champion Katahdin ram. Fingers crossed that she was successfully bred. A ram lamb from that cross could be great for us!
They are settling in very well. Im sure they probably think its much cooler up here in Maine compared to Kansas lol They are still a little scared of us, but I have a feeling they will be following us around like the other ewes in no time :) Now to just sit and wait for some fall lambs :) This...
Yay:weeeThey finally arrived! After many days on the trailer they are finally here. I am so excited to have these girls. The yearling ewe is so tall, she will be a perfect addition!! The little ewe lamb is super long, with a nice deep chest. Not any super great pictures as they are dirty and had...
