The breeding groups are together and lambs are in the works!
The list of who was going with who has been reworked numerous times and I believe I am happy with the ram and ewe combinations, only time will tell if the results are what I was hoping for.
Kenleigh’s Reno is with Kenleigh’s Emeline, Timber’s Hallelujah, Ruby Peak Penstemon, Kenleigh’s Sublimity, Kenleigh’s Infiniti, Puddleduck Cleora, and not pictured Rolling Hills Eva (owned by Lisa).
Windy Acres MacCallum is with Mud Ranch’s Susannah, Kenleigh’s Legacy, Newberry Calgary, Mud Ranch’s Queenie, and Kenleigh’s Carrera.
Queenie wanted to be front and center (big surprise), so here is a better picture of Mac.
Perfect Spot Ailsa will also join this group when she arrives later this month.
Patchwork Abraham is with Mud Ranch’s Jonquil, Kenleigh’s Amelia (owned by Lisa), Newberry Opal, bide a wee Althea, Kenleigh’s Avalon, Kenleigh’s Canby, Kenleigh’s Liberty, Kenleigh’s Wren, and not pictured Hunter’s Glen Florence (Precious). Abraham loves his ladies!
Unzicker Aragon is with Kenleigh’s Azera, Kreutzer’s Izzy, Kenleigh’s Petunia, Kenleigh’s Mercedes (owned by Lisa).
Today, he only has eyes for Meridian Bronwen.
Byeburn Hector is with Kenleigh’s Flirt, Mud Ranch’s Hyacinth, Mud Ranch’s Lisette, Kenleigh’s Pacifica, Rolling Hills Veronica, Windy Acres Delight, and Kenleigh’s Molalla.
bide a wee Dalton is with Windy Acres Amber, bide a wee Shana, Hunter’s Glen Echo, and not pictured Huntsberger Venus.
Amber was immediately taken with him.
The ram lambs have been given their own pasture and are hanging out as a bachelor group and the ewe lambs are enjoying the company of the two retired girls – Holly and Dolly.
Pretty soon the pastures will be full of black and white spotted lambs bouncing around once again!
Lots of nice lambs in the makings!
I hope so! You gotta love Jacobs and their sense of humor at proving your paper breedings wrong 😉
Wow!! So many!
Does your marking paint wash out well?
I tried really hard to get DOWN to this number 🙂 It certainly doesn’t help our numbers with our son having a flock and wanting to keep ALL of his lambs!
The paint washes out fairly well. The fleeces I have a hard time with are the ewes that are bred immediately after we apply the paint. The lighter marked ones are usually washed out with the rain by the time shearing is here.
