Loving the herd life
So I've had my ram with the ewes all fall and didn't know when the girls were due, although from just watching the ram's activity I figured it was probably somewhere around Aprilish. Today I discovered that my ram was being very aggressive with the ewes. I was very upset with him, but it kind of turned out as a blessing in disguise, because after I separated him I went in to check the ewes to make sure they were OK and discovered that my ewe Simchah has a very full udder, so I checked her vulva and it looks like we'll be having lambs sooner than I thought! I will try to post pictures and keep y'all updated on her progress. Can someone more experienced tell me how long for sheep is it that they bag up before they lamb? Her bag and teats are definitely very full. Also, should I separate the other ewe from her?
