ITS HAS BEEN AWHILE

Hi everyone it has been awhile since I have posted anything. I have been kind of stretched thin for the past 4 months due to work and the farm, holidays and my father got rather sick and ended up in the hospital for a month. Also on top of all this I started lambing in December and here it is march and I am still lambing!! What a busy time of year for the people that raise sheep. I did something rather insane this last weekend, I was down to 5 ewes left to deliver and I bought 12 more ewes and another ram,so now I am back up to 17 ewes to deliver in a month or so. I also have had my 2 rams in with my yearling ewes for the last month and that mean hopefully I will some more lambs this summer around June or July. So I am up to 52 breeding ewes and 3 rams I have increased my flock a lot in the last year. I will be keeping most of the lambs this year too they have been mostly ewe lambs not very many ram lambs this year. Last year it was the other way around, we had more male and not many female. I think it we have more females because of the type of winter we are having. I know it is the cause for the multiple births we have had. just about every ewe has twined, we even had 3 sets of triplets and 1 quadruplets. Let me tell you that was a great surprise to go out to the barn and find 4 little one at a ewes side all wanting to eat and she only has 2 teats to feed these babies. So that is how my last 4 months have been I hope you all find yourself well and things are going good for all.
