The local lady I just bought hens and young roosters from was telling me that she waited too late to castrate some baby pigs.
Interesting, roosters have a single sack, but I butchered one with two sacks. Go figure.
Tomorrow is freezer camp day for the 7 roosters.

If she butchers them at 250# or less, I defy anyone to tell the difference. Now let them breed for a while, you will get hormone flavors.

Didn't see Miranda this morning, so we got dressed to go find her. Smart momma, in the cold and drizzly rain, she was in the shelter with her new lambs. Sex unknown as I didn't want to crowd her. I am hoping for at least one of them to be a ewe.

New Year's Eve lambs!

I let Mom settle down a bit and gave the sheep some pellets. Miranda waffled between the lure of food and moving 5 feet away from her lambs. Food won. LOL

The lambs followed mommy and I picked them up. Boy. Then... girl! I named her Eve, born on New Year's Eve. Eve is marked with a perfect heart shaped black spot on her knee!

The boys don't get a name. I castrate them and raise them up for slaughter. The ewe lamb I'll keep and add to the flock. She will get a name, I'm thinking Domino, but not sure yet.
she looks like a little cow! name her Moo!
