Ringo’s Lambs! Baymule’s 5th Lambing

[Ridgetop]

While she doesn't produce ewes, you can always depend on her to produce butcher lambs for hay money! Maybe she is just thinking of doing her part to pay expenses on the home place.

She will eventually give you another ewe lamb. Did you breed her daughter this year? Did her daughter produce ewe lambs? Some ewes and rams seem to produce lots of one sex.

Her one and only daughter had her second lambing, a single ewe. I named her Checkers, back up a couple of pages and you’ll see her.

I have two holdouts, Lady Baa Baa and Scottie. Lady Baa Baa is 47 days past due. Obviously when I saw her get bred, it did not take. That must have made Ringo very happy as he got to breed her again. She is pregnant, starting to get big, has a tiny bag--not time yet. She looks at me with that "look" that plainly says she is fat and miserable.

Scottie is 20 days past due. Her vulva is swollen, she is bagging up and comes to me for tummy rubs. Ringo bred her when she was standing right next to me--twice.

Since I put them with Ringo later than the other ewes, I left them with him until a month or so ago, so he would have company.

My wild girl was the first one that I saw bred last year and she wound up being the last to lamb (by quite a bit) so I'm pretty sure she aborted then conceived again.

I just had a feeling come over me that I need to check on Scottie. It’s a girl.

I love the red and white spotting, but it fades away.

Today I pulled some beautiful grass from the garden. Chickens, pigs and sheep enjoyed the grass. For Ringo, I held his bunches of grass so he could eat the grass easier. Reckon he is spoiled just a little bit?

 

[Mike CHS]

I think he was born to be spoiled since every place he has lived treated him like you do. That is every place except his first as I imagine that wasn't pleasant.

 

[Baymule]

I sat in a chair, handing him bunches of grass and just enjoying the moment.

Our 3 year old granddaughter named the new lamb. Her name is Cherry. Why? I have no idea, that’s what the Boss said. LOL
