Ridin' The Range
We had a nice, scenic 3 hour drive each way into the Texas Hill Country to see what is now our very first St. Croix! We visited with the Shepherd and his family for 2 hours and had a lovely time.
The plan was to put #49 in one of our 4 pastures in our far east 9 acre track, but the pasture we put him in has a stock panel "gate" and he pushed it open before I had a chance to secure it. We trotted right over to the ewe and lamb herd and has been with them ever since. He is a BIG guy, as big as our Barbado mature ewes and he is not quite 4 months old. He must weight 80 pounds or more.
You cannot see it in this picture, but he has a nice beard coming in. The 4 year old ram they had was INCREDIBLE!
I wanted to try to get some pictures of him next to our Dorper ewe lamb who is a month younger to show the difference in size, but could not get them to pose together . . . as yet.
Not such a flattering picture, but he and/or the Barbado ewe may have been flattered by each other. I don't know if he is a perfect specimen or not, but I fell TOTALLY in love with him. I cannot wait to see how he matures out.
