Faith has been mostly by herself for the last 5 months. She can see and hear the others and our pony field butts up to hers (The fence isn't great or I'd put her with the ponies and let them teach her some manners :lol: ) I think your ram will be ok if he can at least see his lady friends but...

I have personally come close to shooting her myself... sadly, the only reason my hubs and son want to keep her is because she was a bottle baby. She is bred but only because my husband put her in with the others when I wasn't home. I don't plan on keeping her offspring out of fear that they will...

The mean ewe seems to attack anything that walks or breathes. I was going to sell her or butcher her when she started being so violent but my son and husband get mad at me for even thinking about it. She is loving as long as there is a fence between her and everything else

The lambing pen is actually a little stall built under a lean-to The quarantine field is just big enough to run 1 sheep in (2 if they are small). It's not ideal yet but the kids and I are getting a little closer lol. Just wanted to give Roah an idea of what our first year of learning looked...

Right now I have 2 large fields to put our little herd into. 1 has no grass in it all right now so I have 3 ewes and our ram all together and have my mean ewe in our quarantine pen so she doesn't kill any lambs, since the ram seems to be great with the babies. 2 of my ewes in the field are...

I have 2 ewes that have swollen vulvas (for 2 stinking weeks!) And just today started to notice the "hollowing" 1 is not bagging at all but the other has developed teats (I can't tell if she is bagging because she is a little wild). I can't answer your question just wanted you to know what I am...

Awww he's so precious!! And lucky you, that you got to witness the whole thing!!

I'm actually glad to know that I'm not the only one who doesn't know exactly when "the deed" took place :thumbsup I'm pretty sure that this girl is going to be having a babe soon. She hasn't bagged yet but she has been showing all of the other signs of labor.

We had to move ours to another field because their main one became a mud pit too. I sunk to my knees moving them :barnie

Thank you Baymule! I only lurked 2 days before I saw how friendly and nonjudmental every is! I know I'm making a ton of mistakes (like not noting breedings!) But the kids and I are really trying to learn as much as we can. My 2 youngest children (13 & 9)are wanting to use their sheep to help...

Lol... I have less patience with the sheep being expectant than I was all my human babies

Good evening everyone! I'm new here so I'll introduce myself :) My name is Angela, married, 4 human kids, 4 ewes, 1 ram (2 full blood Katahdin and 4 Kat/Dorper mix and all but 2 of our sheep were given to my 13 year old as bottle babies. The 2 that weren't bottle babies have stayed relatively...

Hello :) My name is Angela and I live in SW MO. I am married with 4 kids. We are a proud 4-H family. We have a small herd of sheep that was mostly given to us as bottle babies in the last year or so (we have earned a reputation for being a lamb orphanage ) We also raise show rabbits, chickens...
