Great Plains Tulip should be the first. She is due March 29th, but with the extra leap year day, I figure she is due on the 28th. With all of my ewes, I figure they can go up to two days before that date, or two days after. So I will be watching for something starting tomorrow ... :-)))
Even my ewe lambs are bagging up quickly. I think it may get busy during the first week of April.
My beloved Iris, the world's most perfect sheep (IMHO) is also due that week. She has only ever singled, but I have requested twin ewe lambs this year. She was bred to Nelson, a 75% UK katmoget out of Great Plains Cherry and Todhill Hornblower (via AI).
Beechtree Sorrel is due April 1st, and might just go around that time.
Beechtree Miss Marple is due right after Tulip, on March 30.
This is Great Plains Sylvia. She is an F1 Greyling (1999) with an AWESOME fleece. She is also bred to Nelson. I didn't see her bred, but for the past two years, she has lambed within 36 hours of her daughter Tulip ... so I'll be watching this loving and gentle ewe as well.
I have not done a good job of keeping up my blog. For that I am sorry. There is just so much whirling around in my life right now that I need to deal with ... and I am.
In the mean time ...
This little doll is Anna on Valentine's Day.
This weekend I am going to spend some time with Will. And THIS time ... I WILL take my camera ... :-)
I love these two babies ... and the parents who produced them ... :-) At this point in my life, the babies and their parents ... make it all worthwhile ... and keep me going ... ;-)
