oh this makes me miss having turkeys ! They are so much fun!

I think this ram is my favorite out of all my lambs this year. He is a chunk lol I can't wait for his weights at 30 day weight. Overall Im pleased with how my lambs are looking this year, the new ram made a huge improvement.

Does he come from show lines? I am not familiar with that breed at all lol but I do show Katahdins and ours HAVE to have papers if you want to compete in breed classes. Im not sure about market lamb classes as that is not a area I show in. On a side note, he looks SUPER CUTE! I love lambs!

Agreed ! I work my butt off to sell registered stock and even then it's rare. Usually people don't care about the papers.

Thanks for your reply i really appreciate the advice, as i have only been at it for about 3 years now! I don't sell breeding stock at the auctions ever. Only my meat lambs. Unfortunately as a small farm I can't keep all the ewes I would like to. Meat lambs sell quick here for the right price, I...

I had 2 sheep shipped from KS to ME and it was expensive...and with fuel costs going up I can only imagine how much more crazy it will get. I would say over $650 at least.

Its been a good lambing season. I got 15 and 14lb twins from one of my brood ewes, I just love her bloodline it always gives heavy thick bones and good birth weights. I think I will keep 2 of the ewe lambs this season and one of the rams....the rest will have to be put up for sale. I need to...

What are you getting for your meat Lambs right now? I know what I would like to sell them for, but my area dictates otherwise. Same with breeding stock. Sorry Im not going to sell a registered ewe with an awesome pedigree and good conformation for $150 , its so frustrating especially with all...

Haha 🤣🤷‍♀️ not me that named him lol

Can anyone recommend a weigh scale for sheep. I need something that won't break the bank, must go up to at least 350lbs.

Haven't had a chance to get on here in a while, the new ram is doing well. Hopefully we can get some good lambs from him this Jan. He is just the most handsome guy I feel so blessed to have him. @Baymule his registered name is "EHJ 830 Confirmed" but his barn name is "C" it just kind of stuck...

IM BAACCCK! man it feels like it has been awhile! College is finally done for the summer, so I have some extra time to get on here! I hope everything has been well for everyone. We are doing great here, just the usual getting the garden started, working with the sheep ect. We recently...

@Ridgetop , I am not sure, I asked the vet that. They were formed perfect, she said it did not look like they died during labor, she mentioned that sometimes you can tell they were stressed , and would have a lot of meconium staining. These did not. We think they died before labor even started...

All 3 lambs had to be pulled, all were dead. Brie was put down shortly after and went very peacefully. I am devastated that we lost her and those lambs, but I take comfort in the fact that she is no longer in pain 💓 I hope you dont mind if I post a picture of Brie. I love you sweet girl. You...

We had a great talk with the vet, and went over all of our options. The ewe is terminal, that we know, its just how to proceed with getting the lambs so they have the best chance , if they are alive. We decided after much discussion to induce her, she has been given a steroid shot, she should...
