So not too terribly early, other than Little Jessie, she was a week early. Normally that ewe lambs exactly 150 days after exposer.~~Sittin.n.Spinninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13488509291525218944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109863172568342179.post-16103932647945670812008-03-12T14:03:00.000-07:002008-03-12T14:03:00.000-07:00Wow, get busy at home and miss out on what's going...Wow, get busy at home and miss out on what's going on everywhere else! :)<BR/><BR/>I can answer the Shetland question as my neighbor had a lamb from such a cross. He had very nice wool!<BR/><BR/>Becky,<BR/>Aren't your lambs coming early by your reckoning? Nothing wrong with that, though, as the waiting is over.<BR/><BR/>You've got some cuties.<BR/><BR/>JulieJulie Poudrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13840024697696827161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109863172568342179.post-83561653834296693482008-03-11T13:51:00.000-07:002008-03-11T13:51:00.000-07:00The woman that sells them on eBay has some listed ...The woman that sells them on eBay has some listed right now, by all means, out bid me lol<BR/>The 14" seem to work great for newborns. <BR/>I have two rams right now, Laz of the slopped butts and Carmine; I have bred Laz to all my wether dams and Carmine to all my registered tunis ewes. Both rams are registered tunis. A bit of history on Carmine is posted on my website (link on my blog page)<BR/>I have 5 wether dams right now, Little Jessie will be another. Two are registered suffolk and dorset respectively that my daughter uses for 4-H projects. They were both bred to a suffolk ram off site.<BR/>I have thought about that actually, some tunis have nice wool, like Laz, but then there are those like Carmine that feel like suffolk wool... would be fun to test it though :)~~Sittin.n.Spinninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13488509291525218944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109863172568342179.post-47637374664834040172008-03-11T13:30:00.000-07:002008-03-11T13:30:00.000-07:00I have loved catching up on your posts!

(sigh) You just can't get the farmer gene out of some people. LOL!<BR/><BR/>I love the lambs! Do all have the same sire? (Didn't catch it on the posts, if you said) Will you have to wether the ram lambs with the sloping butts? Hmm...I wonder what a cross with Shetland would look like! Ha, ha!<BR/><BR/>I'll also have to look for those coats you put on the lambs. It always happens that we have teerrible winds and cold weather the week everyone drops lambs around here. I have heat lamps, but it would be nicer to have a couple of cotas, dog or lamb, to chase away the chills for anyone caught by winter. Thanks for the ideas!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933105773412843275noreply@blogger.com
