As some of you know, we got into the Tunis sheep breed. :D Our first lambs arrived and are wonderful!! I do have a couple of questions on how you guys manage your Rams? We are not new to sheep and rams, however I'm new ish to keeping a ram on my property for an extended period of time as opposed...

They arrived technically just before Christmas but we are so in love!! :D They are getting smarter when we go in to catch and cuddle them and scatter as fast as their little legs can carry them, but I'm bent on making two girls my best friend haha! That flashy red lamb is from my one California...

What are ya'll doing to beat this heat wave? Seems to have come early. Got our fans up, every now and then will put a wee bit of ice in the water. Best of luck to all you guys! This week will be triple digits the next 2 weeks. Possibly longer.

We have raised probably 20 bottle calves over the years and have never had a Hereford, but we purchased a sweet little calf last Spring and I'm in love. We named her Annie, however, feeding her like we have always done our bottle calves-she is TINY for being a year old in two weeks.....I'm...

Hello!! So my new sheep we brought in have been in quarantine the last week, I noticed yesterday they have tapeworm segments in their feces. Came to the web to see which wormer was the best for this and saw that there is quite the debate on whether to treat or not to treat? I'm happy allowing...

Does it make a difference? :D

I'm looking into the California Red sheep, and possibly Tunis. I was reading on another forum that some would never buy either of these breeds but never explained why. The thread ended with that one comment. Was curious, if you have experience with this breed of sheep, is there a reason for this...

Hi all! Long story short, we paid big money for a ram that was supposed to breed our girls to raise for 4h lambs for our friends and family. We put him in with our ewes mid September and took him out late October. Come November-we took a tractor to our barn to clean it out before the winter and...

Hello All!! Okay, last year we had a lamb, a ewe that we wanted to keep back, who ended up being very much a ram. She was actually both sexes and after doing some research it looks like when a ewe is part of a litter of two rams, the testosterone flush can cause this..... This morning, we had...

Hello all! I just signed up so I'm a total newb here..... I have a mature ewe who has lambed twice in her life, this would be her third. She is due April 7th. We had a young homeschool girl come in to scan her for pregnancy and she scanned not pregnant, but she is a very big ewe. With her due...
