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.

Jade and her girls
Jade (51W) and her lovely set of twin ewe lambs. Jade actually had triplets this year but unfortunately we lost the third ewe lamb as we thought she was done and no one was in attendance. Jade surprised us all when she buried her third born. As Jade is an excellent mum our best guess is that the little one was stillborn as it was buried with the afterbirth wrapped around it. Hard lesson for us on not having a clue when a third is on the way. Jade did not look over large and had produced one 9.5 and one 8.5 lbs ewe lambs. We did not believe there was a third hiding in her with those birth weights.
