Re: [Blackbelly] More ram lambs than ewe lambs
Hi, I'm in western Washington state. This year with 5 ewes, we got 11 lambs, & 10 were ewe lambs! But then, we've had 3 daughters, no sons, 3 granddaughters, & no grandsons. It might just be the water.;-) Karen Spokane, WA ___ This message is from the Blackbelly mailing list Visit the list's homepage at %http://www.blackbellysheep.info

Re: [Blackbelly] More ram lambs than ewe lambs
Hi Curtis, I am from Central TX. Sold out of sheep but had twice as many billy kids as nanny kids and only 80% of my calf crop were bull calves. In 2009 it was almost opposite.
