Not Kidding, But I am Lambing 180 Sheep in March, and another 50 Sheep in June.
This is when our real Christmas begins. You never know how many she will have or
what colors, or what sex. No might be better then Christmas, Aside from all the family
and friends.

:( I noticed some string goop, kinda pinkish from my lamancha doe today. I think she may be aborting. Not 100% though. I will keep watch. There was no signs of a fetus anywhere cross your fingers this is just some pregnancy thing. I will be watching for a future heat cycle again.

Hmm. Doesn't sound good. Fingers crossed for you.
No, it doesn't sound good at all :( I am contimplating if I will breed her again in January for June babies if she does cycle, or if I will just hold off until next year.

Also trying to figure out why why why my pygmy doe is not cycling. She is not developing an udder, and the buck has shown no interest in her. Grr.
