We're still on lamb/kid watch, I have two does and two ewes starting to bag up. I have my back-up colostrum, and sav a kid, and sav a lamb ready along with new nipples.
To say the least I'm excited.
Our pet ewe, Matilda (aka Tilly) is also expecting her first lamb. I hope to be there with her when she goes into labor. Matilda's ewes will stay here and any rams will be sold or weathered and put into the freezer.
LOL I'll have to get a second ram just for Matilda's girls if she has alot of them.
After, selling the others, we now have 5 Katahdin ewes, 2 Katahdin yearling ewes, and a Dorper ram, Striker is going to be 3 this spring. We are so proud to have him.
I still have 7 little Pygmy and Nigerian Dwarf ewes, 6 of which are bred and expecting from mid month to mid March, and My Shadow, my Pygmy bottle baby 2 yr old buck.
I have 4 large breed goats and am still looking for a LaMancha buck for them.
My plans are to deliver the Pygmy & Nigerian Dwarf kids, sell them as bottle babies, then sell the does and my little buck and just go with the larger breeds of Nubians, LaManchas, and crossbreeds.
