Lambing/Breeding 2014-Parsnip

Thanks!
It's kind of turned into a "multiple people's" lambing thread, but I'm okay with that haha.

IS THIS THE TINIEST OF AN UDDER STARTING TO FORM?
Or am I hallucinating.

Looks like a starter kit to me. LOL!!! You may be welcoming some new lambs into the world in the near future. Congrats!

Haha there is still a thread of hope that she's pregnant! She was with a ram all of March so next month would be the time!!!

I plan to get my breeding rams soon so I can get started on the matchmaking for this year ;
The white Dorper, Duke will go with Wendy, Pax and Diana late this month for late Dec. early Jan lambs.
I'll be getting the ram lamb at the same time, but I doubt if he'll have the guts to challenge Duke and get away with things yet.

Duke will be returned in August, and Optimus will then be put with Jillian in September, and probably MaryEllen as well. Then in October he'll go with Irene and RainDrop!

--- This is Optimus last month at a little over 2 months!
Can't wait to see what he looks like now!
White ram lamb with a fawn colored tail.
He is literally the biggest lamb out the 2014 lamb crop my neighbor had this year. SO EXCITED.
He's a gentle guy too. You can walk up to him when he's laying down and the most he'll do is glance at you and then take a snooze. His sire is a very good tempered ram as well.

That is one nice ram lamb. You should have some good lambs out of him for sure

Gosh I hope so!
He has a decent hair coat too!

Got the boys today, that ram lamb was bigger than I thought!
He's HUGE, almost as big as his grandsire.

Duke and Optimus were put with Wendy, Diana and Pax this morning.
MaryEllen, and the lambs were supposed to go in a separate pen for now but Wendy's 6 month old ewe lamb decided to escape through the hotwire to get to Mama Wendy.

Then because Optimus was getting trampled by not only Duke, but Pax and Wendy as well, he squipped underneath the fence and joined MaryEllen, RainDrop and Irene, where he is being completely ignored. Better than getting beat up I suppose?

I will have to secure the pen and fences so there's no more escapes!

Duke is such a gentle older ram! I'm so happy he's here. He is small but incredibly wide and stocky.
forgot how much rams smell. seriously Duke smells so much bleh.

I might be hallucinating, but I think I actually see real udder development on Diana.
Her due date from her time with Buttercup would be around August 20th, give or take a few days.






JUST SAYING IT LOOKS DIFFERENT THAN THIS --

LOL, least its nice and warm for baby or babies

 

[Parsnip]

Yes! It's super nice outside right now
Nice in the sun and cool in the shade.

Though my ram lamb just ran off into the forest :/
I can hear him but can't see him.

GOOD LORD
I swear he must wanna die or something!
Time to gear up and go for a hike in the forest!
