Well it's day 17 and I did not see her stand near the ram pasture at all today. By Sunday I should know if she came into heat at all and then I can start her on her gestation ration.

It snowed today. Day 18 and no interest in rams; wasn't seeking them out like a ewe in heat would. Got a bunch of pictures! Some I put in the POW.
Here are some:

This is Valentine (aka "Ali"), my 75% Babydoll Southdown 25% Montadale mature ewe. She's a 2009 lamb out of Ciqala, the ewe I think is bred. She's also Billy's twin sister; Billy is the sire of the lambs that will probably be born Memorial Day weekend.
This is my ewe at another angle.

Paulie melted my heart...I would love to have her!!! If they are bred, I read that its okay if it is just one generation, but not two...so, if they are bred, it may be okay? Keep us updated!

Paulie's my wether. He's such a sweetheart. He is actually out of this cross before (mother x son) born March 18, 2010 so I think the lambs should turn out okay. The only reason why I'm keeping him is for a companion for my ram (his father/brother) when they move to my house 
But currently he's living with the ewes.
Here he is as a part-time bottle baby (I supplemented him with a bottle after his twin brother died of a suspected selenium deficiency - and I didn't want to lose him)
Here he is at 9 months old
At 14 months...

And you're lucky! I haven't seen a newborn lamb since 2010 My friend already has four sets of twins on the ground and 16 more ewes to lamb!Thanks!RustyDHart said:
I love my neighbor's set up as well. There are about 21 acres and he has three barns (a masonry barn that is 2400 sq ft and two side barns [seen in "sheep in a line" photo] that are 1800 sq ft each) plus he also has a Quonset hut (it's over 9,000 sq ft--you can see it in some of my pasture photos) and three commercial greenhouses (he used to grow hydroponic tomatoes for Safeway). He has his property for sale (he wants to move to Texas or something) and he's selling it for dirt cheap compared to other places around here who don't have as much buildings and land. I wish I could buy it now! I would definitely love to own this property in the future if I ever have the opportunity to. I'm in love with it
I hope the ewe is bred too. I need a baby lamb fix XD
