It looks like both herd sires are QR from the descriptions. Is that correct?
I would only keep QR and RR personally.
QRxQR: 25% chance QQ, 50% QR, 25%RR
QQxQR: 50% chance QQ, 50% QR
At least with Katahdins no one wants QQ breeding stock.

The two rams have a new home lined up! They've been dewormed, banded, fly sprayed, moved for weaning and now get to learn what hard feed is. They'll leave in a week and a half, they should be expert alfalfa pellet eaters by then!
3 Wethers leaving tomorrow.
1 ram next week.
Ross, Riachu & 2 lambs next week.
That should be all of the sold sheep.

6 rams & 6 adult ewes are left.

You have moved a lot of them. Good for you. Especially since you weren't thinking they were going to sell well, in the beginning. They have a nice chunky build for a smaller breed of sheep.
Have you gotten any of the rain lately? It is mostly going around us over here... or showers of about enough to get your shirt wet and quit. We are getting quite dry.

It's still 6 adults that are "old". 😭

It rained the other day, but only a little and then the sun dried it all out as if it didn't even happen.
