Ewe Neek in heat!

On Tuesday (July, 27th) Ewe Neek came into heat. So, me and my mom went out to feed the dogs and shut everyone up out of pasture, and all the sheep were up except for Ewe Neek, she was down below the bucks pen. We shut her in a pen and I went over and got Ames, and put him in with her, and  all that he did was smell her and lift his lip a little and then walk away. He just turned 5 months a few days ago, so I will give him a month or two to get a little more mature and then try again. So, we just put him back in with Clyde his buddy and the bucks.


He is getting SOO BIG! I don't have any updated pictures of him to post, but I'll try to get some good ones.

Dairy sheep

Yesterday morning (July 21st) at 10:am we picked up three Dairy sheep (a BIG thanks to Nancy Osborn), two of them are ewes and one is a ram. Both of the ewes are 4 years old, and the ram is a VERY big 5 month old ramling.


Malibu, she is over 90% East Friesian. She has had twins every time she has lambed. She has a very nice looking udder and is pretty big.
Here are a few pictures of her:

Malibu rubbing her back on the feeder:

Lisa Ling (LL for short) is a 50%Hampshire/50%East Friesian. She has had triplets every time she has lambed. She is about the same size as Malibu. She also has a very nice looking udder, and is very nice.
Here are a few pictures of her:

Ames is a 1/3 Lacaune/2/3 East Friesian. He was born February 25th, 2010. He is just barely 5 months old and is VERY big!! He is a very nice looking boy, I can't wait to see what size he will get to being when he is full growen.

These are not that great of pictures of him, but here are some any way:

sheep pictures

I took some more pictures of the sheep last week, so I thought I would post a few. All of them are getting soo big, and growing a lot. Four of the Painted Desert lambs are 9 weeks old now, and the other two lambs are 10 weeks old now.

Here are some pictures of Lexi. She is 10 weeks old.

Here is a picture of Amy's eweling. She is 9 weeks old.

Updates

Well, I have not done a post for awhile so there are some things to update. Ok, on June 25th we got a baby llama from the Warren Livestock auction in Leach, OK. He is a male so we took him to a livestock vet in Siloam Springs, AR and had him gelded because we are going to use him as a guard llama along with our two other female llamas. 

Sheep - All of the sheep are doing good, the lambs are getting SOO big. And, in June sometime one of our friend's Dorper sheep lambed to one little ewe lamb.  

Armor - He has gotten a lot bigger too. He is doing good at staying with the goats that we have him with. Here are some pictures of the animals and a few random things around the ranch.

Our friends Dorper sheep next door:

One of our friends Dorper ewes lambed sometime last month to one little eweling.

This is the mother to the lamb in the above picture:

Here is my little sister trying to get our friends Dorper sheep to come up to her.

How many people do we need to hold the sheep down just to trim its feet? Well it looks like five.

Here are a couple of pictures that I thought looked cool.

Have a great day!
