Truth be told apparently my lambing season isnt done yet as lune's previous owner had noticed her bagging up and belived she got covered one more time by his ram
:weee (cue pterodactyl noises)
This is dad! Sadly he was already sold to a couple meat producers so these babies are his last decendants to be born.

I got these guys from someone who could no longer afford them today. It was a long drive (resulting in my hate of the highway returning) but i found out how long i can drive for and stand up without falling over from a lack of blood flow to my legs :gig apparently two hours is too long and my one knee decided to give out in the middle of a mcdonalds parking lot (where i was meeting the guy to grab the sheep) byfar not my proudest moment but certainly byfar not the worst :gig.
Rose and saphy have just weaned lambs so who knows how fast they may go into season :idunno im excited though:celebrate cant wait tp meet the offspring!

Ummm not to nitpick or anything but predecessor is: " a thing that has been followed or replaced by another." So in actuality, the ram is the predecessor of the poss/potential "to be" babies... The word you were looking for is descendants... The new babies (if they happen) will be his last descendants. :D Glad you made the trip, even if you did suffer a bum knee 1/2 way through. Sorry no more sheep for a while

I believe ya are certainly adding some color to your herd and they look really Good!!.....are ya sure that ram doesn't have some Big Horn sheep in it?.....:)
Fully sure lol. Hes an american black belly so he is sopposed to have bigger horns. His owner was aiming to get a bigger sheep for meat production and he is what became of it. Lol
