Paula delivered these twin rams before I came home
from work Tuesday late afternoon (3/21) These are the first of
my crossbred lambs. I've used a border cheviot ram with my shetland ewes.
The ram is just a bit larger than the shetland ram, but has a very
small head and narrow chest. So deliveries shouldn't be any
different than if they were bred to a shetland ram.
This is Paula's first time having lambs and she is doing quite well
with two. Her milk is still coming and and you can see that they
have found the water already. I've offered some milk by bottle
but they aren't too interested in it.
No new deliveries today...we'll see what tonight or tomorrow brings.
