2023, Waiting on Lambs!

[Baymule]

I have to double check, but it looks like it's been across 3 rams, making it my fault.

It’s bad enough when things go wrong without knowing you might have contributed. I’m sure sorry about that. You are a caring shepherd and it must really bother you.

It's just getting worse. A breech & several only heads, 2 lambs refusing to work for teat milk & prefering to starve in hopes of a bottle, something has got to be causing that as well.

Sugar has still not had her lamb.

Evangeline had twin rams, sire WallaWalla-BingBang. Again, only head and big, other only head and slightly smaller.




Listed Saola ewe & Patchie ram to go as bottle babies. They don't believe in a teat, milk doesn't come oyt fast enough for them & they search for liquids elsewhere.



And a cute Seadra eweling, that's staying, to end the post on.

Patchie eweling nursing while laying. Piglet.


Sugar twin rams.


Evangeline twin rams.




I need white ewes, but only rams are born.

But they're cute!

Tell the Sheep Goddess that truly you only wand dark colored rams and it will change to white ewes!

No new lambs yet today. Which is a nice break.

Got everyone tagged & banded.

Have homes lined up for 2 bottle wethers and a ewe. I'm far too exhausted & stressed to raise any this year.

Let patchie & lambs out. Same with Fossa & her big boy.

When the bottle ewe leaves, Saola & ram will go out.

Current count is 24 rams to 10 ewes...

Eweling left. Let mom & brother went outside.

Then I noticed that Icarus had her lamb, a big girl! Keeping her. Sire is Magnemite.




Looks like Patchie has a thing for lambing on the 25th! A day early this year, though. Lol. Haven't checked further back yet.

Anywho, I didn't realize that they're all Magnemite babies. I'm thinking of checking codon & if this new girl is RR, I'll sell the yearling. I don't need 3 full sisters.

Ewenique lost her fight. Antibiotics, pain meds & hand feeding mush couldn't help her. Necropsy tomorrow.

Oh no, so sorry.
