Overrun with beasties
Hello all,
My mamas still look like skin and bones and will just leave the rest of the feed in the bowl when I try to increase the amount. Fed twice a day grain, and getting alfalfa hay plus forage.
My lambs are coming up on two and three months old and we are about to have one more really cold bout the first week of Feb, so I’m leaving them with mamas to get through that and then I’m going to separate my lambs and hopefully get weight back on my ewes.
It’s the wildest thing, the more I feed the bigger the udders
NOTTTT the ones I’m trying to feed lol the babies are growing great though just with maybe I had gotten the ewes up to a higher BCS before lambing so maybe they wouldn’t have dropped so low.
We got snow down here on the gulf coast so here’s my snow covered flock. We got 11 inches of snow, so that was a big surprise and learning curve
My first ewe lamb Apollo is 50 lbs now and the twin rams lambs are a little over 30 lbs ( one is now a whether though) I kept the white and brown one intact
