Still nothing with Diana.
She's definitely still lactating, but has no udder yet.

C'MON DIANA

DON'T GET YERRR HOPES UP
Don't think she'll lamb soon.

Although she was starting a bunch of trouble with the other ewes though.
AND when I was sitting down with the lambs, she came over, jumped on me and nailed me in the head with her front hoof. She hit me pretty hard ugh.
She's just being a pill today.

I think if she lambs she'll get an udder afterwords.
Or BAM she'll bag up over night.

Haha,

Changing the subject here, I went to see a little ram lamb that I'll be getting in August.
He's a month old right now.

SUPER CUTE and well built for a young'un. I plan to keep him up in the field behind our house away from the ewes.
We also got electric netting for him. Should keep him in check. Maybe.

Cute ram lamb!

Diana's hind end picture looks like she's further along than Brosa - I hope both of them lamb soon!

He is a cutie!
His name is Optimus (like from the Transformers movies and stuff?) LOL
He's gonna be a big guy, and I'll be getting him young so maybe he won't be as much of a terror.

I'll be getting him in July the same time I have a ram leased to me, so he'll have a dominant older buddy for at least a month. But then, yes he will have a wether buddy. I have a bit of time yet before I have to get a wether though.
I hope to keep this ram for a few years, he's a good looking ram lamb.

He's roughly 75% Katahdin, 25% Dorper.

This is Diana from yesterday, chewing her cud in the sun ;)


Here's her bits. To me they look a little more red, and a little "loose" but other than that nothing lol
She's had no discharge that I've seen as of yet.
