Oh how nice to only lamb out six ewes!
Leonie had a big beautiful moorit ram lamb around 7 last night. His fleece looks like it will be really nice. He has leathery patches at the horn sites, so I suppose he will be scurred at the very least. And now we are done for the year. Final numbers are six ewe lambs, two ram lambs.
Six Shetland lambs: 5 ewes and 1 ram lamb; 3 moorit, 2 black and a grey.
Two Bluefaced Leicester lambs: one white ram and a natural colored ewe.
I should have 8 market lambs coming from my Ile de France ram and the Mule ewe trades I made last fall. So there should be meat for the freezer too.
I agree, fewer ewes lambing makes life much easier! Congrats on all the ewe lambs and the nice colors. :-)
