Congratulations to Saville 122, Bust! Our Spring Calendar Girl of the Month!
Dora and Saville 122 attending to our first new arrivals last year...
In 2004, we put our ewes in with the rams on November 15, 2004 and removed them on December 14, 2004. This was the year that Elizabeth broke her ankle and Ron was managing the sheep by himself and decided that in view of the "exigencies of the service," he concluded that one month was going to have to get the job done! Not to worry... every single ewe settled, and the result included five sets of triplets and ten sets of twins! That's 38 lambs from 18 ewes in one month of cycle exposure with the rams. They all delivered during April 2005. Check out these results, a 211 percent lambing yield with a uniform distribution of multiples per ram (4 rams):
