I can't wait to see your babies Royd! Did you see I just got some sheep that were Romney crosses? The 75% Romney ewe is the sweetest one of the bunch! I love her. I'll be crossing her with my Cormo ram.
Love Romney lambs! We raised Romneys for years before deciding focus on the Border Leicesters instead. The lambs are so cute, fuzzy, and cuddly.
We always found our Romney lambs to be slow, ram lambs in particular, especially compared to the Border Leicesters. BL's would be up and nursing in 5-10 minutes and Romneys would take 10-20 and heaven help you if you had to help them get started on the teat! Have you found this with your Romneys?
We still have 1 Romney wether and 1 old ewe, who is going to be lambing for the last time this spring, I think. She always has the nicest cross-bred lambs and is one of the best mothers.
