Subject: [blackbelly] New rams


Everyone is busy with Christmas-shopping or winter-preparing to think
about 
list-writing!  Some of you might remember that I'd had trouble having
ewes 
give birth outside of February ever since I first got them four years
ago. 
Well, this year finally, success. Three of my four ewes delivered (two
with 
twins, no triplets this time) in the past month. I had either sold or 
removed all their previous lambs by the first of June. So, they must
have 
gotten pregnant shortly after that.
If anyone in northern CA, near me, is interested in a ram lamb, give me
a 
call. I have four and banded two. This week I will be finding out for
sure 
whether or not banding results in a lamb being able to gain more weight.
If 
I remember right, Carol has said it doesn't make much difference at her 
place. Here, from the looks of them, they seem to be bigger than their 
parents after just 10 months.
