Yesterday, Kit Kat gave birth to a big single black ewe lamb sired by Dougal. We are now at 30 lambs, 13 ram lambs and 17 ewe lambs.
A few statistics to date:
Out of 24 ewes exposed to rams, 22 have lambed with 1 left to go. (One looks like she is open)
We currently have 30 lambs on the ground.
Shetlands:
15 total, 8 ram lambs and 7 ewe lambs.
Polled (genetics): 2 ram lambs (1 moorit and 1 musket) and 1 ewe lamb(black). All sired by Lil'Country Light Foot.
Horned (genetics): 6 ram lambs (2 moorit spotted, 2 moorit and 2 black) and 6 ewe lambs (2 moorit, 1 black, 1 black HST, 1 fawn katmoget spotted and 1 moorit & white yuglet) All of these are sired by Gentry.
Crossbreds:
15 total, 5 ram lambs and 10 ewe lambs
NCC X BFL: 1 ewe lamb (black) and 1 ram lamb (white)
NCC Mule X BFL: (for 3/4 BFL lambs): 4 ewe lambs all white
Shetland X BFL: 5 ewe lambs (3 black, 2 white) and 4 ram lambs (3 black and 1 white)
Only 1 remaining ewe yet to lamb: Bred to a Shetland.
The only ewe not covered by our clean up ram Harrison looks to be open.
There will be a 2 week break until Snickers (fawn katmoget sired by polled ram) lambs. She is bred to Kimberwood Harrison (black gulmoget half polled ram).

Dear Kim,
will you save me a polled ram?
Moorit I suppose, would be best. . . spotted would be the jackpot!
I might even want a crossbred Shetland/BFL ram.
NO HORNS! What an idea!
