I haven't been around any of this type. What is their normal weight when they aren't pregnant?

I'm trying to get a perspective on their size.

edit to add that they are cute as they can be.

Similar. Kind of like swapping summer fat for winter wool, which makes them look the same. I think just one was a bit thinner than I like em after lambing/shearing last year.


These were in April 2015.

This one is from this past summer. Different ewes than the above ones. Got a bunch of new ewes, so the middle one isn't as fat as the others.

IDK if that helps any, lol.
As far as actual weight, don't have a livestock scale.

Some more look round, but I may just be seeing things, lol
Got some panels to use as lambing jugs!
Will add a board on all of them at the bottom to keep the tiny lambs in.
Horses have started staying out on the new land full time, so it should be safe for babies again.
I'm starting to get anxious.

Hoping Rzeka does well with the babies.

I like the panels! Of course, I like anything that is portable because I keep changing my mind...
