Scottish Blackface

[RustyDHart]

Another set of twins this morning....(ewe lambs). Sorry no photos yet....I'll try and get some this weekend. I've had 5 ewes produce 9 lambs so far....not a bad record. Once one starts...they all start lambing..... Going to have many for sale....esp..ram lambs....great for crossbred program.

I know nothing about sheep but I love the look of those. Maybe someday when I have time........

They are a great breed....I had a big ram lamb born yesterday.....he may be a keeper...out of one of my best ewes. He looks like a little bull and not a sheep. I hope everyone else is getting some nice lambs this season.... Happy Lambing!!!!

Can we see pictures of this beast?

My best friend said he may come over this weekend and help me take some lamb photos...I want to get some close-ups. This new ram lamb is a little "porker"....for a Scottish Blackface.

Always nice to get a keeper no matter what livestock you raise, haha. Well, I'm excited for you since I don't have my own sheep (yet).

Another set of twins..(ram/ewe) from my ewe..."Twinkle"....born this morning. Twelve lambs born so far....5 ewe lambs and 7 rams. Five sets of twins and two singles from 7 ewes...not too bad percentage wise.

Up to 19 lambs born so far.....12 rams and 7 ewes.....8 sets of twins and 3 singles.....trying to figure out my new digital camera to take baby pictures...soon will try and post some.

Rusty, any black lambs this year? I would think an adult black in this breed would look almost other worldly. just magnificent.

Hi Dave, No Black so far....a couple have a few spots though. I'm up to 22....14 ram lambs and 8 ewe lambs. I still have to figure out this new camera for some lamb photos.
