Single or Twins?

WHAT a cute lamb bonbean01.......such pretty markings.

I have cut out the guesswork and get mine scanned.....however,they were scanned a bit late last year and my girl with half an udder was scanned for triplets but had 5.....one died almost immediately,but the other 4 all lived and went on to make adult sheep.

Size seems to be a very poor guide as the lamb size and quantity of amniotic fluid vary such a lot.

Mary Ellen has really grown. LOL Now I wish I had kept her.
They look good.

YES MaryEllen is a chunky girl now.
She's nearly as tall as mama Wendy now.

MaryEllen is still scheduled to lamb in mid February.
I have no idea yet, she's so hairy it'd be hard to tell XD
BUT perhaps if she lambs, you'd be interested in the offspring? (if it's a ewe lamb)
Although she was bred to a white Dorper... so it'd be a BIG baby!

I think I would be int.

for sure!

I have high hopes for MaryEllen.
I compared her udder to Diana's udder today.
And by compare, I mean I basically groped them.
MaryEllen's actually has some mass to it. And her teats are triangle shaped.
Although just by looking, she has NO udder.
Whereas Diana's udder is basically a little flappy skin bag. And her teats are small.

If MaryEllen is right on time, she should be lambing between the 13th and 20th of Feb.
I saw her being serviced by Duke twice, SO I just have a range at the moment.
(almost hoping for Valentines Day babies)

Mother was purebred Katahdin in a reddish colour, and Father was a purebred Dorper...white with black head. This is the first lamb from our new ram and can't wait to see how the others will come out colour wise.

Sounds like the lamb is going to turn out really nice!

You'll have to keep us updated with the ewes!

 

[bonbean01]

But for sure

How many more ewes do you have scheduled to lamb?
