I never received a reply so I haven't seen the Fuzzball babies.  Sure would like to see photos posted of Fuzzball and Steel Banana babies.

Well, there hasn't been much activity here, so I was curious as to what success everyone had with Fuzzball.
From what I've seen, it was hit or miss with him.
We bred with 4 different rams last year.
All of our success came from Steel Banana.
Steel Banana produced 2 county fair champions.
So this year, we have bred all of our ewes to Steel Banana this year.

I bred 10 ewes to Fuzz Ball in May.  I'm not sure how many conceived as I haven't had the time to draw blood.  I'm looking forward to see what I get.  I had wanted to breed some ewes to Steel Banana but there was an issue, I don't recall what, so I bred all to Fuzz Ball.  Next May I'll use Steel Banana.

We had great success last year for February lambs the Fuzzball lambs start off a bit slow but when they take off look out they will have hugerumps with a nice top had a few eye lid problems at birth but other than that pretty nice lambs I can’t figure out how to post pics or I would show you how ours looked at fair time

Love my Fuzzball babies.  Just beautiful!  Big rumps, level tops.  Lots of bone.  No eye lid problems.  Plan to breed to him again!
