Moonpie is on the cull list. I have her mother and grandmother, both on the cull list. They always have single lambs, nothing spectacular. I want to sell the so-so ewes, and buy registered ewes that come twinning genetics, and just better quality ewes.
of course she does! Ringo is her Daddy! LOLThat's what I guessed but wanted to make sure. The lamb has some nice lines and long legs.
isn't it always hard to make the cull list. but we have to make those hard choices if we want to have better animals. not to mention be able to feed the ones we want to keep.
Yes, I have raised and named those on my cull list. They run to me when I call, they eat from my hand, they are pets. The flip side of that is that they are raised for consumption. To ever move forward into better quality, I must let go and replace them with ewes that better suit the direction that I want to go in.
Is she going to be on the cull list later? Just wondering why the lambs are immediately sale barn lambs. Nothing wrong with that, just learning.
Lucy’s sire was a poor quality Dorper ram. He was short coupled, no length of loin. He didn’t shed and neither does she. Even though she has twins, I haven’t been impressed with them.
Makes sense. Thanks
