Baymule’s 4th Lambing

[StarSpangledNubians]

Wow, your sheep have some big udders! Most of the sheep I have seen in person have udders the size of a baseball, a few had udders about the size of a grapefruit. Maybe it's because they were meat breeds?

Here is my stand, it looks kinda similar to Bruce's except mine is 6 feet tall and the platform they need to get on is 4 feet off the ground That hight definitely isn't recommended, lol. We didn't think it was that tall when we were making it. We added a ramp though and everyone walks up just fine. Best picture I have.

Those are some mighty big berries around your stand

Heck no, those are feathers! The stand is stored on the chickens' side of the alley, the boys never get past the gate. They have an always open door to the paddock (1 acre including the pond) on their side.

Who’s up next? Looks like it’s going to be Ewenique! She always has twins, but never sticks out like Miranda. Ewenique hangs low like a pit belly pig. LOL

Thanks for the pictures of stanchions, it gives me ideas on how to build one. Ewenique loves belly rubs when she is fat and pregnant and if I stop and walk away, she will follow me for more. LOL So today I rubbed her belly and massaged her udder, just to see if she'd let me. Sooooo the formula for milking Ewenique is belly rub, pull a teat, belly rub, pull a teat....

You will figure it out. I can see trying to milk a few of our smaller ones but most of ours are big enough to do some serious damage if they decide they don't want to be touched that way.

You might do better if you take them out to dinner first and swear you will still respect them in the morning.

Really! They aren't milk goats! Touch their Lady parts and the fight is ON!! Most of my girls only let me touch them with the palm of my hand-while they lip feed from my hand. LOL But I can see the value of milking the tame ewes, or taming them enough so I could milk them for the colostrum. A few bags of colostrum in the freezer might be a life saver for a lamb. I don't want to milk them on a regular basis, but the colostrum is a good idea.

They get breakfast and dinner, but no fancy restaurant or candlelight dinners.

Bay, you know that foreplay is important!
