Viking genetics Fuzz Ball Ram

[Bosephus]

Has anyone started having lambs from Vikings FuzzBall Ram and how are they turning out

[Gtown]

I will let you know in Feb.  I am AIing to him this Saturday.

There were a lot of people that bred ewes to him in May at a clinic held in my area.  There should be quite a few lambs around mid-October.

Josh I will be exited to here how yours turn out and the others due this fall we are using him as we'll keep me posted

I'll be following this thread.
We bred 5 ewes to Fuzball and 7 to Steel Banana mid August.
All five took with FB.
2 re-bred with SB.
I'll take 83% all day long.

[Bosephus]

Did you use fresh or frozen semen

[trademark]

We used fresh semen from both Rams

[Bosephus]

Well have any of you started having fuzz ball lambs yet

[Honey Tree]

Those who bred to Fuzz Ball at the Modesto Junior College clinic should have completed lambing last week.  My lambs from the clinic are now 7-10 days old.

I bred 7 to Tomcat and 7 to 202.  Frozen semen from both rams.
Tomcat 5 of 7 settled
202  3 of 7 settled
57% settled.  Miscommunication with host site was most likely the reason for my much lower than usual, but still good, take rate with Viking.

Final count for Tomcat: 2 singles, 1 set of twins, 2 sets of triplets
                            202: 1 single, 2 sets of twins

Next year I plan to use Steel Banana and Fuzz Ball.

No Fuzz Ball Lambs yet. We won't have any until late January.
I'll keep everybody posted on quality. We have lambs coming from fuzz ball and steel banana. Very excited.

well I couldn't afford to do AI this year but I still hope to next year if I can save up enough, we have 11 lambs right now lost 2 so our fall breeding was around 80% conception which is pretty good for us. thanks for the info guys

My Fuzzball lambs should come first week of February all my November lambs were born in a 2 day period 5 ewes bred 12 lambs not s bad average all are doing very well hopefully someone has had some Fireball lambs that can give us some input

We're still about a month away.
Then it's going to be one giant cluster as we'll have about 20 ewes that we AI'd all lambing within a few days.
Then we'll have the remaining ewes come in over the next month.

I've heard they have been amazing! I was sent this picture of one from a small time breeder. We have 23 due  in 2 1/2 weeks. The semen was amazing quality. We only had two that didn't stick!
