Added two ram lambs to the flock today....both excellent looking fellows at an incredible price~$125 ea. Both twins out of big ol' ewes with nice udders. Will get pics later~will share the FB pics until then~ much too busy right now....traveled all day picking up free bales of mulch hay, then 6 hr round trip for the rams, and got another day like that tomorrow when I'll go transport 20 round bales of barn kept hay~for $5 a bale!!!!!!(folks be clearing out barns for the first cut of the season) But, first we are buying a really great hay trailer.
One ram is cream with black speckles on face, ears and all four legs and the other is black with a white blaze, two white socks on hind legs and I think he has white on his tail also. Both have decent conformation, both a good size for their age(2.5-3 mo.) and both healthy as horses....came from a great place and nice folks.
He's the lamb in the middle, next to his mama.
Also added a female Anatolian pup recently, not sure if I wrote that here on this thread. She's 2 mo. old and smart as a whip, has learned so much in a week and a half that I'm greatly impressed. She's already very much in love with the sheep and they seem to like her pretty well too. She's quiet, obedient, confident and sweet.
Am thinking about making some Johnson aprons for these two rams and running them in with the ewes until I have to separate out the lambs.....anyone have any negative experiences with those? Don't want any oops breeding.
