Best Duel Purpose breed

[BlueMoonFarms]

Woot! I found a good Jacobs breeder, and a Romney breeder!! Though I am very sad to say that the Rambouillet breeders have not gotten back to me yet
So, at the moment it appears as though the Romneys are winning.
And do to efficiency it would seem Hubby is leaning towards getting a ram lamb when ever we want to breed the ewes, and then sending him to freezer camp once they are bred.
*claps hands together* SO!! Next March I am getting our lambs and i cant wait to post pictures when we get them ^^

Heres a chaotic lambing pic which at first glance looks to be calm
new born lamb with mum to the right who is about to drop next lamb, the one far right behind mesh lambed twins an hour ago and the sheep at back wall is just starting to lamb
I really like this secretive little pic

Ok everyone, so after long and tedious wait, research fest, and a bunch of long LOOONG drives, we have our flock!
Two Shetlands; One Shetland ewe named Rosie, who popped out a pure bred Shetland baby ewe lamb named Violet. *who were not sure is going to be staying, were watching finances to see if it will be doable.*
Two Jacobs; a wether named Misty *As much as I love him hubby plans on eating him at some point*, and a ewe lamb named Kora
One Romney who we just picked up and has yet to be named,
And then last but not least a Shetland ram lamb named Jake who's ready to go June 15th

My husband blames all of you by the way, for you all convincing me to get more then two XD

You're going to have all these knee high sheep and then a big ol' romney towering over them

Is the shetland getting wethered? The lady I got my first jacob ram from has been breeding one of his daughters to a shetland ram and apparently got the prettiest gold lambs this year. I guess my boy is hiding something exciting under those spots.

Yup! It was the breed my husband really wanted, so now were going to have a horse in the backyard X_X
And no, hes staying intact. We figured if were going to breed them we best stick to a small sheep that stays on our property so we know where he so there are no complications with the Jacob or Shetland. Hubby wants lamb, and i want wool, so we'll have pure Shetland's and Hubby can have his butcher lambs.
It will also be interesting to see how the wool on everyone will turn out and what colors there all going to produce
