I took Molly and Mandy away from Barron around the end of September. They both look healthy and pregnant. We are expecting lambs in December or January. The ewe lamb, Tabitha, is now in the same pasture with the ewes.

I have started breeding for the 2004/2005 breeding season. I put the ewes in with the ram in mid July.  read more »

The sheep are doing great. The are all carrying enough weight for the breeding season. I saw Krios mark Sephie on 8/17, Mandy on 9/01, and Molly on 9/23. I haven't seen Krios mark Tabitha but we were gone to the fair for a week, one week after he was placed with the ewes, and could have easily marked her then.

The ram lamb, Krios, was born in December and is a Hampshire/Suffolk cross. Krios and the four ewes are located where we can see them out of our front window.  read more »

We sold Mandy, MO2, and MA2 on Saturday.

Our Club Lamb project includes Krios, Molly, Sephie, and Tabitha. Two ewe lambs were kept as breeding ewes because they are long, stylish and have good balance to their bodies.

Three of the five lambs that we have left on our farm are market lambs and have been sold for meat.

Christi has decided to sell one of the ewe lambs since she is keeping the sister. If she is not sold in a couple of months, she will be added to the Club Lamb project, along with her sister.
