Here's my old Gal. She is 7 years old and still going strong. This picture was taken about 3 weeks before she lambed. She just lambed last week and had TWINS. I just knew she was having triplets... She has had a total 15 lambs in 7 years.

She is purebred Katahdin.

My ewe is due March 5 at the earliest--

This is my ewe 3 wks out from lambing.

I think this photo is her 3-4 wks from lambing.

And this girl is due in 6 days at the earliest--

(I think 2 or 3 wks to go in this photo)

is the first ewe a Suffolk ?

No, this isn't a Suffolk. Suffolks' legs and heads are solid black and they also have long pendulous ears that are kind of droopy. I think Sheepshape is somewhere in Europe so this is probably a breed (or cross) we don't have here in the U.S.

Since we are all showing off our fatties, here is my contribution.....

Galadriel is 8 and this will be her 7th lambing. So far she has had 12 lambs and I am expecting triplets again this year (she's had 2 sets before).

My old girl (Longface) is a Beulah Speckle Faced and is 9 or 10.......we aren't sure as she was bought from a local farmer 4 years ago 'for one last lambing'. She had triplets, triplets and last year, quads....this year probably having three....With us she has had 10 lambs, all have lives. If she had twins for 5 of the years years before, she will have had 20 lambs....this year may be 23. A bit of speculation on my part, but could well be right.

We have 3 of Longface's daughters still. 2 are expecting twins and her little lamb from last year is expecting a singleton. She is pretty much responsible for a whole flock.

I think I'll retire her after this year as she is so old. She was 'marked for slaughter' by our local sheep farmer 3 years ago....but this girl is never going to be meat....she deserves her retirement.

I'm loving the 'fat pics.'! I don't think anybody minds what sort of 'obviously pregnant' animal gets posted here.

Here's Longface a week on, still expanding nicely.

Her udder is still not much developed....so maybe another 3 weeks to go.....
