New Lamb

[misfitmorgan]

By the looks of things all of your sheep are wooled which means they are likely seasonal breeders. That means you likely will not have any serious breeding until Fall 2019 so the little ram has plenty of time to grow.

Non-seasonal breeders are Dorset, Rambouillet, Merino, Finnsheep, Romanov, Karakul, and hair sheep. Polypay are also less seasonal so can be bred "out" of season sometimes.

Until he is out of the "lamb" stage I would keep him separated but able to see the ewes. Really you should have two lambs but i know that might not be possible.

Oh sorry i've never seen hair sheep that fuzzy before. Is he a wool breed or a hair breed? He has a few months anyhow before he will be interested or serious about breeding.

I need to take a picture of a few of our yearlings. Their winter coats are a couple of inches thick and fine like wool.

Thats kinda crazy. I've never seen a hair sheep with full "wool" even up here.....but i havnt seen to many hair sheep in winter to be honest.

This is my two hair ewes and one wool. You can barely tell the difference they are all the same age, and the little guy. He's got a little curly to him.
