Lambing update
« on: February 22, 2016, 08:40:50 pm »
Our last ewe for a while just lambed. A big ExGames ewe lamb out of a Maximus yearling. We will hopefully have a few more later in the spring, but we will have a bit of a break for now. We struggled through some abortion issues, which we hopefully have under control now, and ended up with almost all singles births, so our crop is smaller than we had hoped, but the quality is making up for what we missed in quantity. We ended up with an even 15 rams and 15 ewes. However, things are not so even when you compare the sires. From ExGames we got 13 ewes and just 4 rams. Maximus was the opposite, giving us 11 rams and just 2 ewes. Interestingly, he was the other way around last year, siring nearly all ewes and only 4 rams.
