Thanks @TAH and @Hens and Roos too!!
Had a lamb born last night....its a boy. The momma is Sweetie and she rejected her first lamb who was Maggie last year so i'm glad to see she appears to be taking excellant care of this lamb.
I dont think the two young Ewe's got bred but we shall see but they could go as long as the end of April before we know for sure.
So the bad part is....i'm pretty sure the father of this lamb is those stupid mutt rams the DH brought home. The mutt rams arrived on October 6th her service date would have been October 6th
DH brought them home and chucked them in the barn to run with the other sheep which i didnt know about until 2 days later...i told him no no those need to go in a pen so they dont breed the suffolk. I stuck them in a pen when i found out they were loose, after they had been with our ewes for 2 days. So great they are penned and as long as they lamb outside of that window it is from my suffolk rams.....not really. DH failed to tell me the rams were jumping the gate on the pen...every day. After a month i gave up cause i figured well damage is done now. Dh told me when he went to get them mutts he wouldnt mind mutt sheep, now his tune has changed because we have a mostly worthless ram lamb that should have been a pure suffolk lamb and worth $150

Good to see you back and really glad that you've had a happy day! It starts with one and hopefully soon there will be others to join it. It's amazing what a seasonal change can do for a person's mood. Spring is coming. Sorry to hear about the lamb issue but congrats on the new kids. Would have been nice to have at least one full sized doeling...

Well at least you can sell him for meat or eat him yourself. You could put him in the freezer and label the packages MUTT. It would give you many opportunities to serve your husband MUTT chops, MUTT burger, MUTT leg of lamb and MUTT roast............ BWA-HA-HA-HA!!!

That is hilarious! Not sure i would want to eat him...shall see i guess. Mom is Suffolk, dad is bond icelandic cross. We have another mutt ram lamb already in the barn, mom is polypay dad is bond cross. The older lamb was born awhile back and is solid black.

So i found these photos on my camera from this spring/summer that i forgot i had taken....i'm betting you guys wanna see them.
This is our barn (that is not our junk lol) The giant pile of clay/dirt is from when we had the waterline to the barn dug up because it was leaking really badly underground. The line got fixed but we had to wait almost a month for the guy to come back and fill the hole back in.
This is the loft....my camera kept trying to focus on the dust particles because of the setting sun. i'm actually standing on top of a hay wagon half full of hay thats why it doesnt look very high off the ground lol.
Here are some of the suffolk sheep not long after we got the new ones. They are in quarantine with the new goat kids we had gotten and complaining because they i'm taking pics instead of getting them dinner.
Some of the ducks
More Suffolk sheep...this is Sweetie and Honey
This was DH horse..Trick whom we dont have anymore
This is Phoebe checking to see if the camera is food.

This is DH working in the garden...i always have to sneak his pictures.
These are two of our hoop coops which we didnt use this year. Normally there are tarp tops so the poultry have shade and nest boxes, roost pole, etc. The metal sided one is great for raising ducklings.
Issac thinking he sees a rabbit
And some more pictures of Issac
This is how most of his pics turn out because he LOVES to run
