We are two weeks into weaning lambs.
Everyone is doing well...they have survived and so did we!
The ram lambs;
We have 15 ram lambs in this pen, picture above and below.
A couple of them are crossbred. There are some nice sheland
rams in here that we will have to wait and see how they develop.
We will have wait and see which ones develop into what we
determine to be possible future rams.
Pictures, above and below are of the ewe lambs that have been weaned.
I believe there are 12 in this pen, although from my pictures I see 11.
There are also a couple of crossbred lambs in this group too.
Below; 9 crossbred lambs (border cheviot / shetland) that are larger than
the rest, these will hopefully be going to market soon.
Below, our youngest lambs who are still with their ewes but know
there way around the creep feed pen.
We had some ewes bred late, these just finished lambing recently.
It's like having two separate lambings. The biggest factor is laying out
your barn or shed so that you set up pens to meet your needs at a
specific time. As for us right now, weaning pens, creep feed pen and
lambing jugs all at the same time.
That's all for today, enjoy the new week ahead.
