2020, Waiting on Lambs!

Ewenique had an eweling!
Sire is Sebastian. Codon RR, registerable with NABSSAR & OEBSR.

First day of March starts off sadly.
Shelly has a thing for lambing on open hills. She didn't look close at all. She had her lamb before dawn way out on the top of the mountain, while we're having high winds.
Needless to say, he didn't make it. Worse yet, he was a beautiful spotted boy.

All the ewes are now locked up by the house and they are pissed! Many arguing with each other.

Both sides had the marbling.


Also, that makes 4 rams to one ewe and all have been singles. Off to a crappy start.

So, any good news??

Sugar and her ramling were released into the barn for the next few days.

The other pairs will come out tomorrow.

Oh my goodness, I’m sooo sorry that happened!! He was a looker too!! Sometimes nature is just soooo cruel! I’m very glad the rest are penned up, even though they are not.

Well, at least now I can look out any rear window all day & night and easily tell if something's happening.

Nature is a donkey's backside!

Put Apostle, ram, in with the ewes. He's a small guy and all the other rams pick on him, even last year's ramlings.

Idk how she thought this was a good spot...

Ewenique was smart and used the new shelter.
Icarus was smart and used the dip between the side of the horse trailer and a steep hill.
Sugar was smart and used a large, deep dip in the field.
But no, Shelly has an obsession with broad, open hills...

Oh, look, another smart mom!

But, she had rams...
We're at 5 rams & one ewe.
Both spotted.
We're at 2 white & 4 spotted.

I dried them & left them in the shed until the mom brought them out, then into the jug!

Patchie had 2 spotted ramlings. Sire is Oreo and codon needs testing.

Has anyone seen my banders??
I have two because I misplaced one once. But now, I've misplaced both.

No tags yet, as its obvious who is who so far.

 

[secuono]

Let the other pairs out!

Looks like I'll be feeding the chopped alfalfa & timothy hay mix during breeding season & feeding oats to ewes a few weeks beforehand. Way too manybramlings, need to try again to get more ewelings.
