Loving the herd life
I feel like such a newbie asking this question...
But I'm raising (possibly pregnant) hair sheep for the first time.
Two of my ewes are scheduled to lamb early-mid January.
That is, if they were bred. Both being exposed to a ram.
I also have another maiden ewe that should be due in mid Feb. (I saw her being bred)
With the two ewes supposed to be coming up, when will their udders develop?
I need some expert eyes/advise, and I thought I might find it here?
Also can you tell a ewe is pregnant by looking at her?
I have doubts that my ladies have buns in the oven... but I'll post pictures!
If Wendy is pregnant, she should be due the middle of next month.
What do you all think?
This is Wendy again, and her first lamb, MaryEllen. I'm hoping MaryEllen took when she was bred to the ram we had. If little miss MaryEllen is pregnant, she should be due in mid February.
Lastly, there is this maiden ewe. She was exposed to a ram in August before I purchased her... but I have no idea if she took or not. She is scheduled to lamb the first week of January... but I really don't know with her! I guess she could have a little lamb tucked up away in there?
I hope this wasn't a weird post? I'm just really curious!!!
Thank you all for looking.
