Waiting on Lambs in 2025

[secuono]

After those were caught, the other two keeper ewe lambs were caught. 4 in all.




The cows were moved to a new pasture as well. The two rams moved into the one they all just moved out of.

And the ewes in their new pasture. 18 sheep in here.
4 lambs, 2 rams, 24 sheep in all.
ugh. 4 too many for this year, but T & Seadra probably will never sell. I guess I'll not breed the mutts this year or three, to just save their fiber. Then breed for replacement ewes after that.

Then found fatarse had her lamb. Very healthy and vigorous, but mom seems off.
It won't stop raining!!

Well, he'll! Now I know why she was off after lambing. It wasn't the flies, it was a lamb she failed to birth out!
She just got out from the vet, they got it out without surgery.
Insane! I'm horrified, how the heck does that happen, and you don't find out for several months!
Bloody sheep....

Fk!
More news, clearer news.
Did have surgery after all. Triplets! Two lost. Just insanity. How do they hardly act off and just be fine??
What an absurd year it's been...

Ewe pending pickup-

Ignoring the disaster....
Center is that mystery ewe. Idk, looks so pure BD.
Anyway.
Removed 2 ewes and let these 16 back out.

The two I moved in with the lambs to not be bred.



The other 16 waiting for Nov 1st.




The ewe will be picked up soon. The ram/wether lambs look like they'll be dinner late winter-early spring. Not putting much energy into constantly listing them any longer.


Guess it's time to make the next lambing thread!
See you guys over there!

Brought up the previously treated white ewe to grain and retreat.
Started the rest, 15 now, on grain. You really do need judas sheep...Even though Holly has been here years, she isn't the type to bring everybody up! Got the slightly friendly white ewe to come to me instead, then she lured the rest to the feeder.

Half of the ewes remembered how food works. One white bounced to the moon to run away. Wtf...


Eat!
Oh, us? ...okay...

Day 3 of getting the stubborn ewes up for grain. Had to go down there before they responded.
I'll add a second feeder later, so the younger ones can get grain without arguing with the big girls.
