2023, Waiting on Lambs!

[secuono]

Yearlings were moved out last week. Last night, moved in Kibito & Seadra. They felt thin through all of that fluff. Can't see it like you can with shorter, dense wool.

Bent the bottoms of the wire holes in feeder. Same ewes getting stuck, still. Going to cut their wool next time I catch them stuck instead of simply plucking them free.

Saola got an ugly haircut!
Waiting on the others....

Saola & Mimosa with haircuts of shame.



Huge Patchie. Last lambs, she has a pet home lined up.



Working on ordering more hay, again. They eat SO much!

What was left this morning.




Swept it up & left it a bit longer to make them clean it up better.



Swept up again into corner. Mostly just dust left.



Then added two new bales.



What's left of the hay I just bought. Lol



Moos have just these two bales left. Will get the orchard hay after these are gone.




Gotta move pallets, lay plastic & put pallets back down for the new hay coming in soon.
Getting eight 850-900# rounds this time.

Looks pretty good! I recognize those muzzle holes in the hay!

4th bad bale. Left it for them to pick through all day, then added new bales at dusk.
Still no lambs.
New bales Sunday! Eight 850-900# rounds are coming. Not sure how I'll feed it. Probably peel a lot onto a tarp & drag it to the feeder.


Ewenique, Kibito, Seadra & Patchie. 3× extra meals + free fed hay.

Exactly on scheduled due date, not a moment sooner. First timer, Sequoia, had a nice RR ramling around late 5AM. Sire is new ram, WallaWalla-BingBang.

Lapras, had a black ram, sire Magnemite, codon needs testing, around 9:30AM. He is from my head mark line & has a faint one. He also has white around the butt, I'll have to ask the color gurus what that means.



And around 3:35PM, Holly had her first lamb. Then the 2nd. Spotted rams by Oreo. Codon needs testing.
