Compared to their girths this month with last year's this month, it looks like one triplet and two twins. But one is a lamb ewe, so maybe just 2 twins and a single or idk. But if they have more girls, I would be very happy. My rams sold very well, but everyone wanted ewes. I only had one born, so she was 100% off limits.


I am SO excited! I cannot wait for lambs, I just love them. Both my finance and I agree, these sheep are perfect for us. We only feed, supplement, in late winter. I'm thinking we could easily have a healthy flock of 20 adults with some land management or 10-15 without any. They are very sweet, challenge nothing and so fun and easy to care for. Best critter I have gotten, hands down. I would get them every time if I had to repeat my life and choices. No regret or anything. Other's need special care or waste money on caging and this and that. But these sheep, wonderful.


LAMBS!!! Based on last year's laming months, late March and early April. :D

Me too me too me too!! I need sheeplet pictures. We only have 1 ewe and I'm hoping she's bred and we'll have baby sheepies bouncing around. Until then... Pictures!

Oh that is precious <3 Love your pasture too. And the horses. Ours is completely filled with snow, and the horses are still invisible. Dang invisible horses...
