So, I haven't been very diligent about keeping this thread updated, have I?
Lambs are doing much better with the "warmer" weather. Although one of the ewe lambs looks like she'll lose the tip of one of her ears do to frost bite.
Most of the lambs have been pretty "delicate" looking. Nothing is really wrong with them and they'll probably make somebody good brood ewes. They just are not what we like to look at. They'll grow into smaller ewes. They backs will be around our thighs which is pretty short for us. We'll be culling pretty hard this year. We like TALL & THICK ewes.
Most of the ewes that will be going have a good bit of horn dorset which is what the shortness is attributed to. The delicate features are pretty much from the rambouillet.
We did have a monster lamb born today. I don't know if it a boy or a ewe yet. It's pretty close in size to the 4-6 week old lambs.
