I think I'm going to sell Zelda at some point, since she's QR and have her full sister.
Anyway. Rosalina is being picked up tomorrow morning.

Two blacks and a white, tagged and with OE, yearlings. Looks like they should fit the NABSSAR standard and be accepted.
Sooooo excited! I had talked to this person about two ewes earlier, but then found 2 ewes near by. But then she listed 3 for a good price earlier today, 4hrs drive won't stop me this time around!! I'll give her a little extra if everything matches the paperwork.
The others I had bought earlier in a group deal, was able to sell the ones that couldn't be transferred, the wethers, too tall ewe, ripped out tag ram and the full sister, so the 2 remaining ewes ended up technically free. Waiting on their papers to come back. They didn't email flat out refusing, so that should mean they were accepted!
So then, to recap- sold all of my 2016 lambs, bought 2 wethers and sold them, bought a ram n ewe and sold them, bought 2 QR ewes and keeping them, picking up 3 OE ewes on Tuesday and to finalize, picking up 2 OE ewes on the 4th. The 5 new ewes need to be Codon 171 tested, as it is unknown what they are. Their sires should be RR, can only hope most are RR, since the 2 new ewes I already have are QR. much prefer a full RR flock.
I don't have the space to have 4 breeding groups, so kind of glad that didn't work out with the 4th ram.
We are still waiting to hear back about the land next door. I have no idea if and when they may let us know if they rejected the offer, counter offered or accepted it.....Ugh, the stress!!! I don't want to move!!

Anyone wanna tell me what QR is? We only have Suffolk and none so far are registered.
