Well, my other ewe 'went' yesterday ( it seems my girls have a 'Friday thing', ;) wink goes here) Again, first a ewe lamb, then a ram lamb .......... Both doing well from the start
their coloring has me a 'tad' baffled ............ The sire is fullbooded Dorper, the ewe i was told, a St Croix/Dorper mix ................... I know there are times that Dorpers can throw some brown, but I haven't seen or heard of 'pinto' ( wink here ;) ) In fact if someone wanted to get 'technical', the ewe lamb is 'calico' ( mostly wite, with a couple black spots on her back and brown on her head and legs) I dunno................ Regardless, this is a production flock, not a 'show' flock, so my main concerns are conformation and gain ( beyond healthy and 'vibrant' )
Here are shots of the 'new' 2 and the week old 2, (gonna have to figure out some names for those 2)
Ewe lamb first, she's got a lotta leg goin' on ( wink here)...........
Then, the ram
The ewe spent a LOT of time in the blackberry bust behind our crabapple, I am sooooooo happy that she decided to jug herself up before doin' the deed
and finally, because she was doin' not so hot and I wasn't sure we be able to 'pull her out' of it................. The week old ewe lamb is doin' fantastic, she is a goin' concern............ May I present, the Queen of the hill ( another wink here)
