She bagged up 6 weeks ago so was expecting him sooner. But he is a very big boy... will weigh him a little later...

Congratulations on a beautiful boy! He looks like a calf! How did you get your ewe to produce a calf? One for the record books, for sure. 
I am so happy for you and your new little one.

And she did it without any help from me... 8m so proud of her... the average weight of a persian fat tailed ram lamb is 2.65kg... he is double that. Daddy was a mutton merino and not sure what the birth weight of them is... I think between 4 and 5.4kg so yup he is half cow... and my little prem and him standing together is unreal as she is a week old and still tiny... love them

She is doing fantastic.. she is super fat. I weighed her on sunday and she was weighing in at 3.5kg... up nearly 2kg since she was born
Does the answer to whether or not they stop eating right before birth or not depend on the breed type? Or is it just something that sometimes happens?
Fun to read your comments!
So does that mean if you relieved some of the bag pressure that the ones that stopped eating might start? Or is this unrelated?
