Baymule’s 2025 Lambing

[Baymule]

I fed Spot at 11:00 and he ran to greet me. Sheba went with me out on the field. Granny charged, hitting Sheba and knocked her rolling. Sheba sprang to her feet snarling her displeasure as Granny triumphantly strolled away with her ewe lamb. Spot was a little nervous after that, finished his bottle and scampered to Granny. 2:00 feeding was uneventful. I went out and fed all the sheep, closed up the ewes for the night and fed Spot his 5:00 bottle. He’s following Granny but comes running when he sees me. This is working.

What next with ol' Granny?!! Sheesh

With her first lamb last year, she wasn’t sure she wanted that thing. I put one of the dogs in with her and she got defensive of HER lamb real quick. Hahaha! I used her for Buford training. He was scared to death of her and hid behind me. Gotta love Granny!

Obi Wan says his mom put an E collar on our feisty ewe. A few zaps and she pretty much stopped misbehaving.

In a couple more weeks Granny just won’t care. Besides, I need at least one feisty ewe to keep the dogs in line. Ewenique, my oldest ewe is feisty but not like Granny. Granny is a hot mess. First she doesn’t even want the darn things, then she’s trying to kill the dog for even being near them.

I know a girl like that. Sneers at any man who pays her attention but will ruin you if you notice one of 'her' men

Granny’s lambs kinda follow her around and kinda wander around baa-baaing their little lungs out. Spot follows his sister, she follows him when I go out with a bottle. Granny comes looking for them, or at least the ewe lamb and maybe Spot follows them back to the flock, maybe he stays in the hoop shelter. I’ll lead him back to the flock, he’s kinda getting it now. I feed him 3 times a day, yesterday he didn’t finish his last bottle. Maybe he’s stealing milk from Granny.

Y’all looky what I found yesterday morning! Cleopatra, of Texas Five fame, had a single ram lamb. He is a big boy, just hours old, strong, stays close to mom. I sent his picture to my friend Sarah and she sent back, his name is Sam-and so it is.

At just hours old, he has great conformation. Sam has what I call “it”. He has the “it” factor. Sam will grow into a very nice ram and I can see it from the first glance. Then add on that bodacious color! That throws on the WOW! factor on top of the “it” factor. I’m going to record him as half Katahdin and offer him up for sale as a commercial sire.
