Chillin' with the herd
I got a call from a woman this morning....she has 2 Kahtadin Ewes....3 yrs old...and preggers. She does not want them, and since she knows I do rescue, I told her to bring them over.
So....she brings them over, in a back of a minivan...with collars...on leashes. :/ This is how these sheep have been living the last few months.....tied up to a tree. So, anyways....I have Shetland Sheep, and mine are just starting to breed. So, I am not expecting babies any time soon...however....one of the Ewes she brought over....is bagged out, pretty good. The bag is not tight...but pretty good sized. She said she has had them for 2 or 3 months...and was told they were bred when she got them. I have them resting together in a stall right now...she brought them after dark, and I didint want them exposed to the LGD right away. They have never been with a dog. So, signs that they will be lambing soon? Bagged...no hollowing at the tail yet, and when I put hay in for them, the attacked it right away. Help!
