whoa she looks pretty big!
Hopefully soon haha, I think I've been saying that the past week though.
Lol who knows. She must be waiting for a specific time when it's dark and stormy or something like that

 

[Parsnip]

Your ewe is lovely though.
I really like Dorpers and with I had some full blooded ones here!

Thanks this will be an interesting color combo. Any guesses on how many we think twins. If i told u about our other ewe she was all black... The ram was tan and the baby was white. She was so close but had a stroke. RIP belle

I want another ewe for my birthday what would you reccomend for simple lambings.

 

[Parsnip]

Is the ram bred to her tan as well?

~ Haha I was wrong with guessing on both of my ewes
I thought Wendy would have one, and I thought MaryEllen would FOR SURE have one.
They both had twins haha.
BIRTHDAY When is your birthday?

luvmypets, you can't really tell from looking at the belly, how advanced the pregnancy is. Can you get a pic of her vulva and a separate pic of her udder? Those are far more telling. I had two ewes have lambs this year who didn't look big at all. But, a few days before delivery, their udder suddenly filled and on the day of delivery, their vulva looked puffy and red. Right now I have a ewe who is pregnant and is much larger than either of the other two ever were, but her udder hasn't filled and her vulva is still tight and pink so I know she still has probably a couple of weeks to go at least.
