Baymule’s Farm

Sandy had twins New Year's Day! A ewe with a few spots and freckles and a ram that is take my breath away gorgeous. Best part is, they are 87.5% and eligible for full registration at a year old. I’ve never kept a percentage ram, preferring to keep a ram from both parents fully registered, BUT I’m keeping this one!

I took the divider out between Ariel and Beauty, making a “group home” and lured Sandy in the pen with her babies.

The ram! Tricolored, gorgeous! He has the “frosting” now I have to watch the “cake” bake. He’ll have to have the conformation to match the color, to be a flock sire.

The group home. I brought Tinkerbelle outside while I worked, she is laying next to the blue bucket. It took awhile, but the ewes figured out she didn’t belong to any of them and they all started beating her up. I had to grab her, I put her in an empty jug.

Lamb count 22

Pancake had twins the evening of New Year's Day. I was watering the sheep and She had a lamb, and nose and toes were sticking out for the next lamb. I put up all the ewes, then let 2 ewes with the oldest 3 lambs out of the jugs and lured Pancake into one of the jugs. It wasn't long before she had the second lamb. I still haven't got them ear tagged or even seen what sex they are. I've got to do that today!

Lamb count 24

I thought for sure that Easter would lamb on New Year’s Eve but she lambed on the wee hours January 2 morning. She had a black and white ram and solid black ewe, they are 75%. It was a full moon last night and tonight so I think I’ll name the ewe Moon.

I got them scrapie ear tagged.

Lamb count 26.

10 more ewes to lamb.

16 ewes have lambed, 4 of them had singles.

if you put her in a jug with her Momma won't she eventually figure it out?
