Two week old lambs!!!~Sheep Journey

[NEWCOMER]

Alrighty! As of now I have 2 milking sheep!! I just started milking mama 2, and my helper holds her while I milk her. BTW Do have a sheep that likes hearing Bob Marley songs while milking? When I start milking with each sheep, I usually end up smelling like a sheep. But it's WORTH IT! My ewes are docile and don't ram. I have two lambs both boys. When they have girls I am going to train them to be milkers early on.

Sincerely sheep,

Here are some pictures of the lambs and their mamas...
In order of first to last: Pinecone(the darker one) and Pecan(the lighter one), Pinecone's mom, and her twin Pecan's mom.

Also, the lambs are very jumpy.

Nice looking sheep! I’m going to have to look up Tunis sheep.

I like the color of your sheep. How exciting to be milking them. How much do you get and what do you do with it?

I guess you know that udder pictures are supposed to be posted to show off that lovely bag of milk! LOL LOL

Actually, I had to zoom in from afar. They especially would not want me showcasing their udders. I would be trampled. I am using my milk for my highly caffeinated tea, and just drinking it plain to get accustomed to the flavor. I get enough for me. So,that's quite a bit

Some of the "sheep smell" is from the wool and if you shear them then you will get less sheep smell. It is mostly the lanolin in the wool. Once the lambs are weaned then keep them away from the ewes so they don't pick up on the "jumpy-flightiness" of the ewes. See how calm and quiet and friendly @Mike CHS sheep are. He works around them alot, and he makes sure that he keeps not only the best, and the most worm resistant lines, but also doesn't keep flighty ones. The lambs learn from the ewes, mostly.
