I am very sorry. I don't know much about sheep but with goats, I agree with brownsheep, if it was in the sack, probably stillborn or very weak.

I looked up my records. Brownie had triplets last year and a single after triplets is common so she gets a pass. Daisy had a single her first year and twins last year but one had to be bottle fed. Add in the fact her milk took a day to come in, she is on the cull list. Lilly has dropped...

Going to talk to hubby. He has been talking about getting some pigs.

It isn't his brain reminding him it is breeding season. That is shutting down. Only enough blood to operate one head at a time and the brain isn't getting any.

Are the puppies here yet? Are the puppies here yet? Are the puppies here yet? :barnie

Yes, I told all the ladies we needed some triplet girls. Hubby said they just looked at me like "you needed to place that order 5 months ago."

Thank you. It upsets me to loose even a single one but with 40 does kidding, it is almost inevitable there will be some losses. I do what I can but mother nature wins most of the time. None of the GHK girls are FF's. Not sure what is up with them. There are still two more of them to go so...

The only one left from the second group is Zephyr but I don't think she took until later. Group three can go anytime now. The earliest day for this group was December 11th. Bindi: half kiko, half mytonic Ragin River 166: registered PB kiko CVK-147: registered PB kiko- don't think she...

On Thursday, Lilly kidded with a single, 8 lb boy. And Broken Horn kidded with Boy-Girl twins. The girl was 8 lbs and the boy was 7 1/2 lbs. Last night, Brownie kidded with a HUGE single girl. I haven't weighed her yet but I say at least 8 lbs. No pictures yet, we have been busy. On a sad...

:weee Almost upset I didn't wait. I love Peron and Zorya but Callie and D pups would have been AWSOME!!!!!!!

My mom used to get upset when my aunt would leave midday at Thanksgiving and Christmas to take care of the horses and whatever else she had at the time. Mom never understood. You don't take a day off, no matter what. You either do it or you pay someone to do it. My aunt has a farm hand but...

Dopple is being a brat. She is not interested in her kids. She isn't mean to them, she lets them nurse but she pretty much ignores them. She won't call them or nuzzle them to her udder. She is in the pen so they can bond and worst case so she isn't far away. The kids are nursing and doing...

:hugsSo sorry about the lambs. I guess that is why the momma didn't want them.

Sounds like Elding needs a time out. Sitting in the corner in the chair sounds like a good idea.

You sheep seems to be in the spirit, wearing her hay instead of a lampshade. :plbb

The barn is so wonderful! Your hubby must be a glutton for punishment. :lol:

Doppelganger kidded last night. She had boy-girls twins, first set of the season. The girl is brown and the boy is whitish, not quite sure yet. It was dark and the light was bad. Dopple is a Spanish/boer/???? cross. Babies are good. She wasn't too interested in them at first but she is...

Antelope kidded Sunday! Twin girls, both dark brown like their momma. She is Spanish so these babies are half Spanish, half kiko. They are 5 and 5 1/2 lbs. Antelope is a small doe, around 80 lbs so not surprising the babies are a little smaller. For those keeping track that is 4 girls and 5...

:hugs

And food shortages is not what is going to kill us. Fresh water is going to be the limiting resource.
