One ewe has no udder development?

[bocephus]

The ram actually still lives with them all. I'm working on pasturing off other areas and getting him separated when I find another ram for him to live with. The lesson I learned this year is that winter lambing in Michigan suuucks. Bundling up every 30-60 minutes because my ewes like to give birth between 10pm and 2am is no fun.

I'll try and get some pictures up today. I've got some I took of her over the last couple of months on my cell phone. As far as BCS, that's what got me thinking she's just fan. I felt her spine the other day while she at some hay and there wasn't much to be felt there. I could feel the ridge but not by much, and nothing on either side.

Congrats on your lamb! Our ewes have all been in with the ram all winter long. Our first lamb was born 7 March and we have one ewe left to go (middle of May). The first one to lamb was a maiden ewe, this last one is easily 7 or 8. She has not developed an udder, but she is huge. The babies were palpable when we had her sheared last week. Some just don't breed on the first cycle...
