Margali's Griffin Wood Ranch

Are you selling Snickers, to get another ram? Or are you going to keep him , he is so gentle and sweet.

He's not psycho but I'm not sure I would call him sweet. He is manageable which is good enough. I will keep him until I have a self black or brown ram on property since he gives good babies.

The sale barn called back and gave the following numbers for dorper crosses:
40lbs: $80 - 100
50lbs: $100 - 150
60lbs: $120 - 150
80+lbs: $160 - 200
Last weight I had was 24lbs in July at 2 months old so they will be going to auction Friday night. I might try to get a good weight on one tonight, we'll see how my rodeo skills fair.

Let us know what your Katahdins do.

Undecided about Coconut. I may wait until I can get a weight. She may just be in an ugly stage.

For the sale barn, they are white Dorper crosses. Katahdins are unknown. The choices are Dorper, wool, or Barbados.

Coconut is still young so may just be going through the "uglies". Since she is a ewe she won't drop in what she brings next yer if you decide to send her to auction then. Or you could take her to that sale you went to last year when you had the only ewe lamb for sale and got her sold immediately. As a yearling you could ask a much higher price for Coconut at that sale.

Biggest is 74lbs and the other 2 aren't much smaller. The baby sling barely fit around him.
