No...not yet...the due dates for the rest of the ewes looks about right...still have about 3 weeks for the first here...and no van sleeping unless a newborn arrives and a chorus of coyotes starts up near them. Hope it isn't this kind of cold snap when lambs arrive...went down to 24 last night...brrrrrrr

I woke up this am and I think I'm going to have to pass. He is a really nice producer and lots of positive qualities. I do want another buck but I really wont need another one for another tear maybe two. So it doesn't make sense to have one and feed it for 1-2 years with no purpose. I can breed Will to all the ND's and then the does preggars right now are out of Caleb so those offspring could be bred to Will.
I also will have the sheep in the dry lot for quarantine, so where would I put the buck? I REALLY like this buck. I just need to wait it out I guess. The sheep are what I need to focus on. Winter here presents such a challenge, everything gets muddy and so saturated it's just nasty. I wish I could get all 4 of the lambs.

I'm thinking that after you've had the two lambs...you will be smitten and it won't be long before you go back and get the other two

DH said we are going to look at the buck. He thinks it's a good idea. This buck improves does that have less than desirable traits. Since my does are really good this could only be a good thing.
