Longface....Magnificent old girl

[Cornish Heritage]

What a nice old girl!. I would be keeping any ewe lambs, to retain the great
genetics for my flock. A good producer like that should pass fertility and
long life on to her ewe lambs

Absolutely! Genetics like these are incredible. Our oldest girls here turn 6 this month & should also lamb this month or maybe next. Wouldn't get rid of them as they are still going strong.

She made obvious overtures to our huge ram about a week ago and he responded in time honoured fashion. She is probably in lamb again (though she will definitely be retired after this year). She is very fit -looking at the moment.

She will be scanned in about 6 weeks time. I hope that she is not having quads again as her history is for triplets. However, any ewes who are having multiples are separated off for special treatment, and if this is the case with old Long she can be separated off with a companion ewe for the last few weeks.

She is a very special sheep.
