I wish I had taken some pictures of his lambs in Missouri when I went to get him. There is every color in his lambs that Katahdins are capable of having.

It'll be hard - but we'll have to wait patiently for pictures of the lambs he produces at your place.

I just showed Maxwell's picture to BJ and said, "well, in a few years when Mike replaces Maxwell, I guess we'll go get him." BJ said, "You're kidding, right?"

He will have the same kind of attitude so we can cook some more steak.
Ringo was 231 lbs the last time we had him on a scale and he is heavier than that now. Max was 169 when weighed before I picked him up but he is just over two years old.

Yesterday after I turned them out in pasture #2, they were all full, fat and happy. Last year, after the sheep tore up the clovers, rye and fescue, the bermuda we sprigged came up and took off. We mowed the left over clovers down and got a fine mat of humus, which tremendously helped that soil. The Bermuda put out runners and got knee deep. I never grazed it again until yesterday, so hoping to have a good stand of Bermuda for the summer, after the sheep graze down the fescue and clovers.

I let the ewe lambs out to graze for about an hour this morning. I just have to start walking down the drive way and they come like magnets. Lance would love to be herding but they aren't stressed this way.

I open a gate to the pasture I want them in, calling SHEEP! SHEEP! SHEEP! They start bawling, I open their gate and they RUN to the other pasture. Ringo just strolls......he looked at me yesterday and I told him he'd better catch up, so he broke into a trot.

He never got to a trot unless there was something he wanted.
It looks like you have completely figured him out at this point. It will be awhile before I let Max go outside of a perimeter fence but we are getting there.
