This year we have three ram and three ewe lambs. We have not named them as of yet. Nothing so far seems to fit any of them. Once named I will be registering them,
First the ram lambs:
This is our first born ram lamb this year. He is brown based. Still trying to nail down his color and...
Wrangler is "White" but he has dark spots we discovered last year when he shaved him. Mom is Grey. I take pictures every few days of the lambs. At about 2 months it is weekly until they are 4 months old. At that point, the pictures are every other week and at 6 months they get a monthly picture...
The first two lambs arrived this week. March 29, 2021
The girl is mostly white with a black spot on one leg
The boy is looking to be an interesting one. His legs are dark-colored, his body white and he has face markings.
Not going to name the colors/markings just yet. I will be taking...
Not sure what direction we will be going with the herd. We have to be sure that they are not closely related as that is the current problem we ran into with our ram's sire being the grandsire of one of the ewes
We lost Yang and Ruby this past fall. We have sold all the ewe lambs but Primrose. She will be staying with our flock. Primrose and Heather are looking for a new Ram. We may also be looking for unrelated ewes in the next few months as well. We will see
Been a while since I have been here. Still looking for a registered ram for two of my girls as we found out the one's grandsire is the ram's sire.
Currently, we are raising a variety of critters
Registered Shetland Sheep
Pedigreed American Rabbits (Blue)
Faverolles
Ancona Ducks
Pilgrim Geese...
3 were from a lady near Bowling Green and 5 were from a lady the other side of Lexington.
We lost one of the 5 to a loose dog. Still would like to get more breeding pairs/trios. As of right now I am a bit buck heavy. I am using one of the bucks for my meat mutts.
I feed Blue Seal Home Fresh. We order it online and TSC ships it to us for free. Occasionally we have to go to the store to order through their system to get free shipping to home.
I am using Kintracks cause it is the easiest. This reminds me I need to touch up the ear tats on the rabbits as a few are badly faded and hard to read.
Pedigree is the family tree for a animal.
Yes I love them. They are a bit difficult to find. I have 3 does and 4 bucks. Had 4 does but a stray dog got one and killed it.
Let me see what I can get together on the Americans. I have Blues and am looking for some whites.
The pedigrees on mine...
Kentucky. Go figure. But under the law in KY they are illegal to own or possess. Something about Invasive/Dangerous species. I just know they are on the banned animal list in KY. We also can't own a monkey here.
