1. I have to check my pregnant ewes to decide grain - this year they seem awfully fat (I can't find their ribs!) so I have cut back. Usually I give 1/2 lb a...

Thanks for the feed suggestion! Just want to make sure we're talking about weight here, right? 1/2lb in my grain mix amounts to about 12oz volume... That...

Hi Sharon! Yup, aren't they the best?!?! What part of the country are you in? I'm in Washington state but moving to Indiana. It's a bit tricky to tell when...

Hi Sharon! I second Margot's excellent description of birthing. I have seen babies born (the mommy field is in my front yard) and it is a wondrous thing to...

Hi Sharon - I used to live in Virginia but now we live in Potomac, MD, which is basically on the MD/VA border. We are about 7 hrs from you, but I thought I...
I've not had lambs, but I expect them to be about the same size as Babydolls. My Mini Cheviot ram is probably 160-175lb, but I know some are much lighter....
