2/26/2013

JUST WENT OUT TO GIVE FREDDIE HIS MIDDAY BOTTLE AND I HEAR A LAMB MEWING. LOOKED INTO TO SEE TWO LAMBS IN COTTONS PEN, A RAM AND EWE. THE EWE IS THE DARK ONE LAYING DOWN IN THE PICTURE. SO WE ARE DONE WITH THE SHEEP LAMBING AND NOW IT IS JUST THE GOATS THAT ARE GOING TO BE KIDDING STILL. WE HAVE MILLIE AND GRACIE IN THE TRAILER THEY ARE THE NEXT TWO TO KIDD. MILLIE WAS BREED TO MVA1 SUNDANCE AND GRACIE WAS BREED TO B4BG GOLD DIGGER, THAT WAS THE SAME WAY GRACIE WAS BREED LAST YEAR AND THAT GAVE US MVA1 SPIKE AND MVA1 SOX, OUR MULTICOLOR DOES. HAVE A GREAT DAY.

MIDDLE OF THE DAY ON 2/21/13 MVA1 DC HAD HER FIRST SET OF KIDS. THEIR SIRE IS MVA1 SUNDANCE AND THEY ARE PUREBLOODS, TWO DOES AND ONE BUCK(WETHER). I WAS HOPING THAT COTTON WOULD HAVE HER LAMBS LAST NIGHT WITH THE STORM FRONT THAT WAS COMING IN, BUT SHE DIDN'T. SO I WILL BE WATCHING HER TODAY TO SEE WHEN SHE WILL BE HAVING THEM. COTTON IS A EWE WE BOUGHT FROM SAGE HILL LIVESTOCK AS A BREED EWE LAST FALL AND ACCORDING TO THE SALES CATALOG SHE WAS LISTED AS 2-10-13 AS HER DUE DATE WELL THAT DAY HAS PAST AND SHE HASN'T HAD ANY BABIES. AND SINCE SHEEP NORMALLY HAVE THEIR LAMBS AT NIGHT I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF NIGHTS GOING OUT IN THE COLD TO CHECK ON HER. TIME TO WATCH THE SNOW FALL.
