2022 Waiting on Lambs Journal

[secuono]

Glad the vet could get the lamb from the white ewe and a nice surprise to come home to. At least they think she should be okay for another try.
Your grass looks good and I am sure the sheep love it and the lambs look so cute scattered out all over.

Grass is terrible this year. Should of left them on a dry lot on hay for longer.
This is roughly the same time last year vs now-

Here's an update on Papaya & her odd two tone black patching.

Little limpy, Seadra's lamb that got stepped on, is doing great.



They're too difficult to take pics of out in the big field.

Ewe who lost her lamb went out today.


And since it's supposed to rain most of this week, I'll leave the black mom & eweling in the barn. They'll keep T's bottle eweling company.


Last possible lambing day is May 13th, so we will see if any of the 7 or Lucy will lamb or not.
If not, they're all getting tossed out onto the big acres.
Moms that have all of their lambs pulled for weaning will also be tossed out there. Ones with lambs still on them will stay on rotation until their lambs are pulled for sale or are big and I don't feel like they'll get eaten.

Neighbor sent a message that lambs were getting out.
So, had to move everyone over for the night. Got panels up over gates, but there's still gaps to fill.

8 rams, 1 wether got pulled for weaning today.
Gotta get a paddock ready for them. Had yard work done, so no side yard available this year.

They posed better this time. Even the inside of my barn isn't level...lol

My keeper boy-

The wether-

Two of Billy's ram, cut butt off, lol.

It is amazing how fast they grow and how well they fill out. They look real nice.

Fuddy-Duddy doesn't understand how the bottle holder works. Only drinks when I put my hand over it and stops when I walk away...
