So total of 19 sheep then Secuono? right? Hey, what ever happened to that escape artist pig you had? The one who used to photo bomb you? I don't recall hearing anything more about him/her... Sorry, I know this is a sheep thread, but I seem to have issues with following protocol...

 

[secuono]

Yup, 19!

A string of extra hot wire fixed the issue. She's still growing.

We took 3 lambs to slaughter and kept 2 ewe lambs. They will join the flock and I'll have 6 ewes! This means MORE LAMBS!!

Have you started breeding them yet with your new ram? Or have they not started coming into heat yet...

They haven't joined the flock yet, but will soon.

I ended up buying Murphy


And Glen


the rams, and was given 3 ewes. But then I sold 5 sheep so that's pretty even. I have several more on my sales list but haven't gotten around to advertising them yet. It's not an addiction if you sell more than you buy right?

Since there is such a high ratio of rams to ewes on a small back yard operation where ONE ram will be more than ready and able to service the ewes . Commercial range sheep breeders keep 1 ram to 30 ewes and the one manages to get all 30 or the great majority to lamb to be profitable ... so YES, that translates to a costly addiction.
