Thank you! They are very friendly (which I love)!

So it’s been a month and I have to report that everyone is doing great! Ranger (my rejected bottle Ram) is thriving. Running with the girls during the day (coming back for feedings of course) but eating pasture and feed. He is almost 30 pounds. His twin sister Buttons waits for him to come out...

Thanks to you all. Im just really nervous about him getting sick I guess. He is currently teething I guess also. Chewing on everything. I didn't think I'd be changing diapers and making bottles for at least another six years. My oldest son is 17 so i thought I had at least that much time to...

i have a bottle lamb, six days old now. Should/could I mix in shredded hay to creep feed? When should I try to introduce the creep?

Bottle lamb, six days old still has creamy poo. Yellow/brown and sweet smelling. He weighted 8 pounds at birth. Eating well from bottle. About 28 ounces a day. Sleeping through the night as well. I did notice little flakes almost like hay shreds in his poo. Maybe he actually ate some of the...

Thank you all for all of the support and information. Im definitely going to do more research on the feeding during late pregnancy. I di notice that with this Ewe, she never "dropped" like the other one. I don't know if that is a sign of some sort. We don't plan on breeding the girls again...

Congrats! They are all beautiful. Thank you for all of the info and advice for my own as well. Blessings

I was able to reach inside. I could feel the lamb’s shoulder but couldn’t get to the leg. Momma tightened up every time and my hand was being crushed. I didn’t want to do any damage since this was my first time. I decided to just call the vet. So glad I did. Mom and baby are doing fine today...

My second Ewe went into labor around 10:30sm yesterday. I keep a close eye on her with binoculars so I wouldn’t disturb her. By 12:30 I could tell something was terribly wrong. One foot and the head were out but it appeared the rest was stuck. This looked like a big baby. I gloved up and using...

I actually made a milking stand in August! It has a headgate. I can lower the stand a use that for sure. Thank you. Little man is not a fan of the bottle so I’m going to continue every two hours or when he cries to get him to nurse. He is tiny. Maybe 5 pounds.

Trying every two hours to get mama to accept the little boy. Mom just tosses him around. This is her first set of twins so maybe she’s confused. I’m holding mom still so he can at least feed. I put a lamb coat on the girl and rubbed it all over her then put it on the boy. Mama wasn’t as...

Cold weather does it I guess! Temps dropped to 27 here last night. I woke up to these beauties! Black faced boy and tan eared girl. Momma just left the boy and keeps knocking him around. I’ve haltered her and I’m making her feed him.

So of course the temp here in central Texas dropped this afternoon and we are now expecting snow around 9pm! The girls are warm in their pen but it’s just so cold to me. Hoping those babies stay in just one more day and I don’t wake up to frozen babies! Plus I really would like to witness the birth.

Kit is ready!!! This is our first experience with sheep. We are all so excited!!!! My husband is out of town so good idea on the video!!!!

MAJOR DIFFERENCE this morning! 😀

This will be her third pregnancy according to the man I got her from.

Her udders began getting larger about 10 days ago.

It has been a while since I posted about my three adopted pregnant Ewes. The man that I purchased them from swore that they should give birth in September however here we are November and I still have no lambs. The girls are definitely pregnant however I don’t think they were as far along as...

Still waiting! I think we may be getting close though. The two white ewes keep going into the pen and laying down. I can't tell if they are just napping or gearing up for something! Im going crazy! Decided against a camping trip this weekend just in case LABOR DAY really meant LABOR DAY! EEK

Any guesses on a ‘Birthday?’
