Polypay Rambouillet Lamb

We got a lil boy. told he is about 9-10 months old. How much should he weigh? How old will he be when he is fully grown? and how big?

Not a 100% certain he is just polypay and rambouillet since both of those are pretty much exclusively white sheep....Not saying it isn't possible just unlikely. Could be some through backs to the Finn in the polypay I guess.

My rams pretty much hit their mature size between 1.5-2 years old. My Rambouillet ram tops out right about 300 lbs. While my Dorset is right about 200.

Your guys looks small-ish so I would guess he could go anywhere from 120's-180's when fully grown.

Lambs can be difficult to estimate with out getting your hands on them. Especially since he is in a full fleece.

Are you planning on using him for breeding or as a pet. If he is for breeding don't make him overly friendly! A good majority of the time friendly rams become aggressive rams. If he is a pet I would get him castrated. This will also alter his adult size.

the lady we got him from said both parents were solid white. she found it odd too. said first time one cane iut spotted in her 9 years breeding sheep.

We had gotten him fir a pet/friend for our goat. turns out we cant have a sheep on our rebtal just a goat. so might have to eat him. is he too young?

Nope he isn't to young. Lamb is technically anything under a year. Right around 9 months is when most people process theirs. I do mine around 12-15 months and they turn out fine as well.
