We have downsized and now have a very small flock of Dorper Sheep. Our main focus has changed to meat goats. We have a few registered Savanna Goats and some commercial meat goats as well.

The Incredible Hanna! 14.5 lbs at birth
There is not much little about this girl. The Incredible Hanna weighed in at a hefty 14.5 lbs at birth. We looked at her and were reminded immediately of another Incredible lamb born to friends of ours last year. Avery's Katahdins had the birth of the Incredible Hank (also a 14 lb lamb). I had not made any coats big enough for a 14.5 lb lamb and had to make one just for her. While she looks fully Dorper she is a mix. Her mum is 75% Dorper and 25% Katahdin. Her Dad is a registered Dorper Ram.
Cold Weather and new lambs
When our first lambs were born it was very cold outside. I made up some little coats to help keep them warm for their first few days of life. Here is a picture of the little ones venturing outside with their Mums on a sunny day.

Here is 41U also known as "shorty" and her triplets. Mum is doing a great job raising these little cutie pies.
