WIN17X and DJA107Y

WIN17X and DJA107Y (Big Show) have created some lovely ewe lambs together! You can see the long wavy hair coats that Big Show's lambs have a tendency to have. I find this rather amusing since Big Show has a short dense coat! Love the little black eye on the one little girl.

Random Lamb pic

Here are some of our lambs, we have some beautiful lambs this year. Lambing is well under way and we are about 60% done. We have some beautiful crosses as well as purebred Dorpers and Katahdins.

DJA41U Shorty's Twins

Shorty DJA41U has had her twins! A lovely Ewe lamb (with the red around her eye) weighed 10.8 lbs and a little white ram lamb weighed 8.4 lbs. Proud Papa is DJA107Y Big Show. I am seeing a pattern here with his lambs having long wavey hair. Did not see that coming since he has short dense hair. Beautiful lambs with nice sturdy legs.


Ebony's Twin Ram Lambs

Ebony has had her twins! Twin ram lambs. One Chocolate and one White with Chocolate marks. These little boys are 1/4 Dorper and 3/4 Katahdin. Dad is Big Show. Chocolate one weighed 7.8 lbs and the white with chocolate marks weighed 10 lbs even! Love these two and wish they were ewes!!!

Getting Big

Just a few pics of some of the girls that are waiting for their lambs to arrive.



Clair's Premies are doing great

Clair had her triplets very early and the smallest ewe lamb did not make it. The other little ewe lamb was the strongest. The ram lamb was born with no teeth erupted, eyes still sealed shut, could not stand, suck or regulate his body temp. Today he ventured outside for the first time! His eyes are bright, he loves his bottle and he has 2 teeth. He jumps around rather well follows me around. He is still wearing a little coat until I can be sure he is regulating his temp well and will not chill. Here he is hanging around with Mum and sister.
