Added up what the ewes typically have.
Right now, it's a tie at 6 & 6. Vanilla had a single & then twins, so hoping the twins continue. That makes guesstimate of # of lambs at 21!

Twins-
FatWrinkley, Emmie, Patchie, Addie, Vanilla, Marley.

Singles-
Shelly, Lolla, Chocolate, Periwinkle, Marshmallow, Sugar.

Ones that are on their first lambing-
Sugar, Cocoa, Latte, Surry.

Ones that are on their second lambing & may become twinners-
Marshmallow.

Then added up what the rams have produced, while I owned them & past numbers if I was informed. Been just pasture fed, so going to try graining ewes for flushing and see if more ewes crop up next year.
Maciej had 99% ewe lambs at previous farm. Twinkie sold & has 3 ewes due to lamb, 4th ewe's lamb is already added to his #s. Kris has 4 ewes due. Maciej has 3 ewes due. Bouncy sold the other year.

Bouncy- 9 rams, 7 ewes.
Billy- 1 ram, 2 ewes.
Twinkie- 4 rams, ?ewes.
Kris- 3 rams, 1 ewe.
Maciej- ?rams, ?ewes.

It's amazing how much wool the young lambs have on their lower legs - it's like little legwarmers!

I keep going out, hoping another lamb has shown up, but nope. They are holding out on me. Lol
Now it's storming real good. Hoping that means the grass will grow, grow, grow!!
