Meet Chloe, a light grey moget ewe. For a while I thought that maybe she didn't get bred this year, but she began to show and she just keeps hanging on. She is as big as a barrel, I'm hoping for twins, all the other yearlings delivered twins and I expect the same from her, although she was born from a set of triplets.
Here again the back up ram would be the sire as we removed all the ewes from the ramd breeding pens Jan. 5, 2013.
This is really later than I like to have lambs and I am thinking of breeding much earlier next time. I may begin in Aug/Sept., so we lamb in Jan. & Feb, 2014.
I haven't had any luck getting my ewes bred in August or early September; good luck!
ReplyDeleteI had one shetland deliver in February this year, so I'm going to try, we'll see what happens. I don't think I'll have any problems with the crossbreds catching.
