The ram came to our home about a week ago. We get an earlier start on the breeding. YAY!
General Red |
What we have notice so far is that he is very interested in our ewes. Very interested, but our ewes took one look and ran. I don't understand what their problem was I think he is very cute. Now we have a whether name Lightning, I was a bit surprised by his reaction to the ram. Lightning actually showed dominance that he was in charge, that they were his ewes. Lightning is about 6 mos. of age. It really surprised me. Eventually lightning new that the ram was in charge and he backed down. Our ewes are showing a little bit interest to him now. Well at least Lilly is (my in laws). UGH..
On Saturday morning I went down to feed the animals and when I came down from putting the buckets back, I notice the ram was a little bit taller. When I got closer I saw the ram with Lilly.
I stop right there in my tracks in shock,I turned and ran to tell Curt. I was so excited that It's starting, we are closer to having baby lambs on the homestead. Now we have to wait 17-19 days to make sure it took. If it did take we will have a baby lamb somewhere around Feb 3,2014.
So yesterday I went down to check out the sheep and the goats, just to be nosey. I took notice that the ram was interested in Lilah, but she wasn't interested.
Darn.....
We are praying she changes her mind and finds him cute. I was told that we have til January for her to change her mind. I really hope it doesn't take her that long. lol...
I'll keep you post on both ewes progress....Have a great Day
