Okay. So let me introduce you to my breeding stock.

Well I don't think Ali ever came back into heat. Her red marks never changed and she wasn't remarked with green. So I think it's safe to say she may be bred :)

I like the looks of Ali, she is a cutie.

We're turning the ram in with two ewes this Saturday. I am soooo excited!

Ali is cute. I liked her looks better last year, though lol--every year she gets more and more brown on her face :p

And Ciqala never got remarked so I think it's safe to say she's bred now :D

Can't believe my sheep are already 1 month bred! If the next four months are anything like the last one, I will have lambs here before I know it! :lol:

I believe ours are now all bred too...still have the ram in with them just in case...one one was rebred so far that we know.

Now if any are rebred of yours...the red and then the green...were you thinking Christmas colours? ;)
