My thoughts exactly.... Plus, they look like they have nice type and length of body... For triplets, you sure lucked out with them.
I sure did. I've have lots of triplets - but these three are thriving like no other set has. Different ewe, her first set, but not her first lambs. I can tell that she's giving it all to the three. SO glad they are all ewes. They're half St Croix, thinking that's what has given them the consistency. Though I'd like the ram I have to be stockier than he is. That said, he's producing nice lambs, esp with this ewe and her daughter (she has white twins as a FF).

Those two hit genetics well....it's a repeat breeding for sure. Agree structure is good, not just color. But we deserve some eye candy -- we work hard, too. 😊

You can see trends in breeding for what the animal produces if you watch for it, males especially. Males because you have several he's bred. One of my bucks is an 80/20 female kids, plus good structure. Also browns! 🫤

For sure! He's going to be one very happy ram when I breed again. The girls need a little rest first LOL and most are nursing still. Geeze the black and whites are just barely over a month old and it seems like a lot more than that.
