Baymule’s 2026 Lambing + December 2025

[Baymule]

Son and I set that hay bale Thursday, they need another one today, It is a small size, it doesn't last long with that many ewes eating on it.

Last night I made a list of ewes to sell. A few will depend on if they have ewe lambs to replace themselves to go to the next level on the breed up program. 21 on the list, 15 for sure, it is going to be a sad day. But that is several months off.

Sad but, what we must do some are harder than others. I've reduced herd by half this past yr. Feed is getting way expensive! Don't see that getting better.

Love having all the sheep, but the alfalfa bill not a happy thing. It's keep all and go broke, or keep some and tolerate the feed bill. Choices or else we become..... broke hoarders.

Yes! Even if putting some in freezers. It's $$$ meat.

Sunshine had twin rams this morning. She’s on the list to go if she has a ewe lamb. No ewe lamb. But I have her twin sister who hasn’t lambed yet. So we’ll see…. If Patches has a ewe, it might put Patches and Sunshine on the sell list.

I had to take Tinkerbelle’s jug away from her to give it to Sunshine. I need to make something for her so she can be outside. At just 9 days old and no mom to look after her, I don’t want to just put her outside.

31 baby's now?

But, she doesn't want to live in a jug, she wants to be a house sheep and keep snuggling with Carson...lol
