behold the miracle of life, we finally had some lambs!

honestly thought our ram was a little too young back around christmas to be able to service our lambs but i guess his pecker was working fine lol
we've had 4 so far, and i think one may be be pregnant still, but hard to tell. she hasnt filled in in her udder yet so its just a guess that our ram serviced her around the same time as the others.
we got enough boys so far that we'll be eating lamb for christmas so thats really nice
so far ive found that having the sheep bred in november/december is perfect in my area, as i want the moms to be eating free, fresh grass when they need the most feed: when milking.
our grass only really starts growing crazy in mid may, so its really nice to not have to pay as much in feed when they need the most of it.
all things considered, i think so far my sheep have been cheaper to raise than my chickens have been. i dont have a bug farm for them yet so they get bag feed, and that shit is expensive.
compared to the sheep, i think i payed all of $400 for hay the entire winter for 8 sheep, and that includes bedding and a lot of loss from a sub-optimal feeding setup. next winter should be even better.
