The color thing is a whole new world for me, being as we've had Suffolks. One question for you, re rams. We are hoping Lyndsey's new Suffolk (the 350 lb'er) produces a ram lamb that we will keep. Should we get him a buddy to hang with? Seem's like he'll get awful lonely up on the hillside by himself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-51217245420651640452011-10-23T20:14:04.313-07:002011-10-23T20:14:04.313-07:00What wonderful diversity in a small flock.

I used CIDRs which theoretically brings them into heat within 24 hours of removal, so three weeks would have the ewes with the rams for two heat cycles. I'm fine with leaving a ewe open if she doesn't take by then, and lambing early works best here for a variety of reasons, personal and otherwise.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-29079129429794332612011-10-23T19:19:15.589-07:002011-10-23T19:19:15.589-07:00Pretty!

As I understand it (from people much more experienced than I), shaela is a modified color, and as such, is supposed to be a "whole" color, with all the fibers the same, not a mix of dark and light. But it is described as looking like "black frost," so I can see why you wondered!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-57239611105572554852011-10-23T15:27:42.922-07:002011-10-23T15:27:42.922-07:00Wow - wow - WOW!
