I guess its cause we dont trust him with the daughter... And i feel bad leaving her alone.

Just being frank but you stand a good chance of not getting her bred if you just leave him in for a couple of hours.

Tricky heats and all that. I believe there are labs where you can send in blood samples for pregnancy checks.

Get a marking harness and leave your ram in with your ewes. When the ram breeds the ewe, the marking harness on the ram leaves a colored dot on the rump of the ewe so you know what day she was bred (ie what day she was in heat) and when to expect lambs. If you change the color every 2.5 weeks, you can see if your ewes are rebreeding.

Mammy would not eat... Could she be pregnant. She always stuffs her face.... Should i be worried.

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Lack of appetite has never been a symptom of pregnancy in my animals....

 

[luvmypets]

Okay thats what i thought. Ifshe doesn't start eating soon we will call the vet.

 

[SheepGirl]

If shes not eating something could be very wrong. Check her temperature.

 

[luvmypets]

Ok...

 

[luvmypets]

We came to the barn today and she had eaten... Im still worried though.

 

[SheepGirl]

Did you take her temp?
