I work off the farm full time and can't watch them carefully when they lamb sometimes. Also, since you have only a few sheep and a very 'hands on' operetion, you can give her the nutritional needs she needs as well as keep a close eye on her if needed. Lots of folks breed ewe lambs, so I think Butter will be fine. <BR/>TammyTammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131066591477169851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-64436402198755260652008-11-14T06:11:00.000-08:002008-11-14T06:11:00.000-08:00Hi Michelle,Last year I did breed one ewe lamb. S...Hi Michelle,<BR/>Last year I did breed one ewe lamb. She came "with my ram" and they were already in together so I left it that way. She was herself was a triplet. She did marvelous had a huge single lamb that is as big as some of the adults at 7 months. She is taller than my maiden yearlings and as big as some of the two year olds and a great mom. So she is no worse off. I think the biggest thing is making sure they get their fair share of nutrition over the winter. I think that is more likely to happen if she is not in with the bully, bred or not. I know I don't have much experience to go on, but I though at least one success story was worth sharing. I am breeding my ewe lambs this year and hope it goes as well. I might have a completely different view of it next year. So I confess, Olympia is in with Cooper. She was getting dangerously knocked around by the Dairy girls and with the horned goats still here, I didn't have another predator safe night time spot for her. So I will take my chances with lambing, rather than certain harm from goats or coyotes. She is close to 50 pounds now so I hope it will be okay.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306393089259457114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-4835750660119839282008-11-14T03:39:00.000-08:002008-11-14T03:39:00.000-08:00Sun, SUN!

It has melted into little poo lumps on our lawn....it's going to be tricky picking it up. I have always said "no breeding ewe lambs" but I will be doing the same (being a hypocrite....) but only my more mature ewe lambs (Jacobs). Butter looked to be a good size ewe, so I don't think I would worry. (besides I want to see what Franjean and her produce!):)Gone2theDawgshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07138393137324890048noreply@blogger.com
