This is one of Olga's lambs. I may just keep him for next years breeding season.

More ram lambs!

Well Maude, Edith, Olga and Beaulah have all lambed nice, large, beautiful RAM lambs!
Yes, all eight lambs are rams! With last years 4 Archie is now 12 for 12 throwing rams.
We also butchered a ram yesterday from last years lambs. He had become quite destructive and
aggressive. We will have him made into spicy sausage. The Sportsmans butcher shop
in Carver did a great job with our venison last fall so we will take him there to see how
they do with a ram. The muskovy ducks are now setting so we should have some
ducklings in about 35 days. We plan to move them to the farm and raise them in our
chicken tractor. They will all go in the freezer. I'm considering selling my unregistered
Icelandics this fall as I will need to make a little more room for the ever hoped for
ewe lambs from the 5 ewes that have yet to lamb. I will keep my fingers crossed!
Till later, Tamera.

Lambs! Finally....

Maude was first as predicted. She had two ram lambs unassisted mar23. I expected more
spotting as last years lambs from my ram Archie and Maude both exibited spotting.
Black moufflan was 9.25 lbs and the morrit solid with white flashes on his head was
8.75 lbs.

 The sheep all look as if they are ready to burst. I can't tell who will go first. Maude is sooo... wide and her udder is getting huge! Edith looks rediculously funny with her round body and skinny legs! They all are developing udders. Even the wild two. I find myself walking up behind them and doing the
"backend" check. Tuesday is I believe "D" day as per all my calculations. We will see!
