2019, Waiting on lambs!

Or am I just not used to looking at wider sheep...

You might want to try short groups and see who is getting bred quickly vs who always lags or doesn't breed.
I did 20 and 28 day groups. 28 days gives the ewes opportunity to cycle twice. I'm going to be noting who lambs in the first half of lambing. Those will be in the top for possible keepers.

Idiot moment, not sure I'm understanding.

They're together from Oct 1st to end of November, I think it was? Was until end of December before or a pause and then a short bit between December and January.

And I use markers, the crayon breeding harness, so it's obvious whose getting bred and who isn't. Made a post earlier with who bred and the repeats.

If things work out, I'll be getting an OE reg spotted ram soon!

The girls are doing great at coming back home for the night. Even left the gate open for them to go out a second time. They came back in a couple hours after dark and I closed the gate.

Looks like I may be getting 2 ewe lambs, possibly more, from California and hopefully at least one from Washington this year!
If I have enough ewe lambs that the Cali breeder approves of, then we'll be doing an even trade. Which means, I most likely will not keep any of my own lambs, so that I can make this trade work out.

Hope it works out!
