Wether 208 waiting on his new owners to arrive.

Thistles took over. Ugh, I hate them so much. 3hrs of riding mower, then scythe to finish them. Still a ton left.

Yep, no longer supporting NABSSAR by registering lambs to them for the buyer/not included in price. They just blacklisted one of my sheep. Funny thing is, it was bred by the person running it.

Why??? Maybe parents should be?

That sounds counterproductive. A real fuster cluck. What a moron, blacklisting their own bloodline.

They suddenly changed the rules without member vote to get rid of anything spotted related.
This ewe is a spot carrier.
Edit to add, these are hidden carriers. That means they come from solid "regular" sheep, generations of just black or white, no spots. So to get rid of them is absurd. They should refund purchase price for any they blacklist that were hidden carriers, as there's no way to know until you breed to a spotted or 2 carriers happen to have one born.

She quit sheep. She shouldn't be in the registry, pulling strings and making it her own any longer.
Seems she only did it to the one sheep, not the others. But the database updates quarterly, so can't check it yet.

They didn't even see proof before blacklisting her.

That would royally tick me off.

Trying to decide between two sets of full sisters to sell 2 of them.

Lapras, 121, QR, single, Oreo× Lucia, 2020. Single ram.
Skedaddle, 197, RR, twin, Oreo × Lucia, 2022. Too young to lamb.

And

Papaya, 165, QR, twin, Magnemite × Latte, 2021. Twin rams, 1 spotted.
Frick-Frack, 187, QR, twin, Oreo × Latte, 2022. Too young to lamb.

Tried to get pics, but probably need to catch them to see front legs. Otherwise, they all look the same. And if fronts are the same, then I guess I'd keep 197 & 165. 197 winning bc she's RR, and 165 winning bc she had twins this year.
