SUPRISE!!!

I was out of town with a friend who had surgery for a few days thinking nobody would lamb while i was gone becuase nobody was due. boy was i WRONG! my crossbred ewe whom i didnt even think could get pregnant because she has issues most likely from inbreeding where i bought her from had twin ewes out of bahama!!! i have always put her with a ram even though she could breed (well she hasnt the past 3 years!!) and the one is black and the other is white, they are crossed with shetland,karakul and border leciester!! pictures tomorrow!!!

FIRST LAMBS!!!

Today i went up too do the normal barn feeding, not expecting any lambs as the night before nobody was showing signs of labor. and what did i find? twin springs anna a moorit smirslet with a moorit and white yuglet sokket flecket ewe lamb and moorit smirslet sokket ram lamb out of minwawe bahama and nuss tutu an Ag ewe in labor!! OMG so psyched/nervous. totally unprepared for the lambs that were born let alone the ones that are coming! so needless to say i was running around like a chicken with its head cut off! then finally at 12:30pm i decided to go home and eat lunch thinking tutu had a bit to go before poppin them out. about 1 i return too the barn too find TRIPLETS!!! two ewes and a ram!! a black flecket ewe, a black and white yuglet flecket(only 2 or 3 little spots on her body) and a black and white yuglet flecket ram lamb similar too his yuglet flecket sister only with a few more black spots! all are happy and healthy and sired by minwawe bahama!! pictures tomorrow!! right now its rest time for this shepherd lol

Day 13 Wild Geese Holly

Wild Geese Holly is a coming 5 year old solid moorit ewe, with a loving personality,spot on conformation and a luxurious fleece!! she is my biggest ewe as far as weight goes. but she gives me the most correct lambs you have ever seen! she is either bred to minwawe bahama or spring hill nugget, nugget got over with bahama the day she was in heat and saw both of them mount holly but im not sure if anything happened before i got there, so if she gives me a katmoget they are nuggets if she gives me spots they are bahamas, if she gives me solid im in trouble! i wouldnt be upset if nugget bred her because she might be mioget and nugget is emsket! so that would be a nice pairing!! this is the last ewe i will be posting for a few weeks, i have two ewes coming within the next 3 weeks and will post them when they get here!!! and then rams after that and by then new lambs will be coming!!!!

Day 12 LauriesLamb China

This is LauriesLamb China, she is a coming 4 year old solid white ewe who carries mioget. she is bred to maple ridge colin in hopes of a nice mioget or white ewe lamb to retain. she is due march 24th. she has a lovely fleece and fantastic conformation that im hoping she will pass on too her offspring. she is one of my stand-offish ewes but colin is friendly so im hoping her lambs have his personality.

Day 11 Nuss Tutu

This is Nuss Tutu, a coming 3 year old, grey/white bersugget, she is jete's momma and has the same cute/innocent looks, she has a very soft crimpy fleece, decent conformation and a lovely personality, she is bred to minwawe bahama and is due sometime in the first week of march. she is BIG! i was very tempted to post a hind picture of her too show how big she is but some people get offened by things like that so i decided against it. she might be homozygous black, i will know for sure this spring being bred to bahama. if that is the case she will be for sale. i have too much black in my flock to have a homozygous black ewe.

Day 10 Nuss Jete

This is Nuss Jete, an adorable coming yearling ewe. She is Ag grey, she is an F2 Brent with a wonderfully soft fleece, with a lot of nice crimp. i generally dont breed my ewe lambs unless they are at least 50lbs. and she is only maybe 4olbs right now. so i hadnt planned on breeding her but she had other ideas. she is bred to maple ridge colin and is due April 10th. im excited to see what she produces, i love her baby doll face and puppy personality, when she does something bad and she gets caught she looks at me with her big brown eyes and ears forward as if too say " i didnt do it. must have been that brat maybelline shes always being bad" much like she is in the picture above. she got caught chasing my kittens
