The new 16 sheep!

Well, yesterday we were given 16 sheep and a pot belly pig. There are six adult ewes, two adult rams, one 6 month old ramling, one wether, two five week old ramlings, two six week old ewelings, two five week old ewelings, and a pot belly pig. We were also given a half of a bag of sheep grain, a bottle of Iodine, a bag of Sheep Milk Replacer, a bottle of Cydectin sheep drench, three nipple tops that slip over a beer bottle top, and two big syringes. Here are pictures.

The red ewe is Cathy.  She has the reddish ram lamb who was born on Jan 10th.  She is probably bred to Clyde. She is probably about 2 weeks pregnant.

Cathy's 6 month old ramling. He is very nice looking.

The black and white ewe is related to and hangs with Cathy as a family-group.  She is about a year and a half and has the black ram-lamb.  He is 5 weeks old.

Her 5 week old ramling:

The barbados cross ewe with two lambs is Frosty.  There is one ram and one ewe lamb.  They are 5 weeks old.  Frosty is the mother of the Ewe who is mostly white and looks like she is wearing a mask.  Her name is Amy.

Frosty and her two lambs:

 Amy was Frosty's lamb from a year ago.  She has one ewe lamb who has two little spots on the back of her ears.  Amy is a bit of an air-head and tends to wander off.  She and Frosty hang together as a family-group.

Amy's five week old eweling. She is VERY cute!!

 The white ewe is Porche.  She is about a year and a half.  She has the all-white ewe lamb named Lexi.  Lexi is 6 weeks old.  Porche is fairly tame.

Porche and her daughter Lexi:

  

The barbados cross ewe with the one tan ewe lamb is Beatrice.  She and Porche are the same age and hang together.  Her lamb is also 6 weeks old.

The ram with the bum leg is Bobby.  He broke the clavical (look it up) after we got him.  He is about a year and a half.  He is tame and once he gets to know you, he will probably let you scratch his ears.

Clyde is the white ram with the black eye.  He is about a year and a half.

The castrated white male is about a year and a half.

THE NEW PUPPY, ARMOR!

Well, it rained here yesterday. All of the animals are doing very well, and are VERY fat and healthy, they can't even keep the pasture down, there is to much grass for them out there to eat, and not enough animals. We are hopefully getting 20 or more sheep, three of them are dairy sheep, more then six of them are registered Shetland sheep, and the rest we picked up on Thursday afternoon around 5:30, they are Painted Desert crosses. We got a new puppy yesterday. His name is Armor, he is a Anatolian/Great Pyrenees cross. Armor is only six weeks old, and is VERY cute!! We are keeping him in with our baby goats for a little while so that he can get used to the goats, and then he will know who he is supposed to stay with. Here are a few pictures of Armor.

Have a great day!

Production White rabbits

May - we traded a few bales of hay for a Production White doe rabbit. The lady that we got her from has been raising these rabbits for 20 + years and has bred them so that they have a thinner coat of hair and so they can handle the Oklahoma humidity and heat a Lot better than other rabbits. When we got the doe she was supposed to be bred and due on June 1st, but she ended up being not bred. So my mom e-mailed the lady and she told us that she was going to give us a buck! We got him on June 6th, he is a very cute buck I think! Both the doe and the buck are very big (probably about 12 or so pounds). The buck is only about 2 years old and the doe I don't know. The bucks name is K-bar and the doe does not have a name yet. The lady that we got them from said that K-bar is a very good buck and that a lot of her herd is his offspring. We bred the doe yesterday (June 7th) and he got her 3 times, hopefully she takes! I will try to get some good pictures of both of them posted soon.

Have a great day!

Self Sucking Goat!!

Well, it has been getting warmer every day it seems like! I have not posted for a little while now, because we have been kinda busy lately.

We got another goat! She is a registered Lamancha doe. Her name is Cricket, and she is a self-sucking first freshener yearling. She has a beautiful udder, but she only gives a very very little amount since she is drinking it all! She is from Mercy Farms, Thank you Joanne! Joanne talked about selling her, and my Mom said she'd like the "challenge" (of trying to make her not self-suck anymore), so we decided to get her. We went and picked her up on Thursday May 20th. So, we were trying to think of something to do to make it so that she did not self-suck anymore, we tried hot sauce on her teats and it did not work, we tried putting some kind of spray that your supposed to put on dog feet so they don't chew there feet and it did not work, we cut the bottom of a bucket off and tried putting it on her head like an E collor and it just fell off right away, than finelly we got ahold of a real E collor (not a bucket with no bottom) and put it on her neck up side down, than in the morning we were milking all of the goats and we put her up on the stand to milk her and her udder was SOOO tight it looked like it was going to pop, so we gave her grain and she ate all of her grain gone and gave us about a half of a gallon! When we took all of the goats back to there pen, she walked in the pen and went and got a drink! I don't think we have ever seen her get a drink until then! She is also a bit shy, but that'll just take a bit of time till she is friendly. Her registered name is MercyFarms MG Cricket.

Here are a few pictures of Cricket:

Cricket with the E collar on.

A full shiny udder! Photos taken about 10 hours since milking.

Have a great day!
