Having 2 ewes, ya will be adding colors thru a few seasons. So, this means they are not Ringo's, right?

 

[Mike CHS]

No they aren't Ringo's. The window for those that he bred won't start for another 3 weeks so these were from Riley the blackish ram we were going to get originally. Ringo has turned out to be the sweeter of the two and is as tame as our ewes that we first got.

That makes it even better, especially if ya can get a ram from them and breed to some of your first group, and have a line with both of those boys in the pedigree....just me thinking tho. Sure ya probably already thought about that.

 

[Mike CHS]

We have a couple of yearling rams from another farm that we want to check out and possibly a couple more Katahdin ewes.

We will be at our desired base flock size by this time next year and probably a little over so we will start culling a few of the ewes we have now depending on how their lambs grow out. At least by then we will have some history on all of them.

Sweet! Things are really coming together for you folks... FAST! Grats on the double ewe lambs. Can't do much better than that!

 

[Mike CHS]

We did ear tags and weighed the lambs this morning and took off a half pound since they are almost a day old. 14 is 9.7 and 15 is 9.2 so there is some size with them even though they are twins. It's no wonder the ewe was looking so broad lugging all that weight around.

 

[CntryBoy777]

That is really big for twin weights, my goodness it's no wonder she was uncomfortable. I bet in her mind she feels light as a feather....
