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.

Pictures of all the sheep together:






Have a great day!
