Mystri delivers a ram lamb....

Kimberwood Spirit
Grey or Musket Katmoget (Ag) Ram Lamb
Kimberwood Mystri X Kimberwood Chance

This little guy was here to greet me this morning on my first ewe check of the day. Mystri is a first time mom, delivered him and took care of him all without a problem. I've ended up with bottle lambs before because a first time mom didn't know to take care of her lamb. I'm not sure yet if he is brown based or black based. He almost looks a musket rather than a grey katmoget in the daylight.

This little guy is #12 for us so that makes it 8 ewe lambs to 4 ram lambs.

You must be living right to get that tremendous ratio of ewe to ram. Keep it up!

Oooh, Kim, he is pretty!

Yes, nice looking lamb, Kim.
And way to go on the ewe lambs. Chance is really giving you a lot of Ag, only one non-Ag lamb from him so far? It's good to know that he's not homozygous Ag. I bet he'll give you some nice fleeces in the lambs.

Thanks everyone! It would have been nice if this one could have been a ewe instead of a ram. But he is beautiful as is his fleece. I'm debating on castrating him and keeping him for his wool. I'll watch him for a bit before I decide.

Chance has given me 3 ewe lambs so far that I think are probably not Ag but will watch them longer to be certain.

Way to go on that ewe year, Kim!
