We have about 5 ewes expecting in the next 4-5 weeks. Great tips and I can always pick out some if the things you mentioned. Have had one lamb born already but that mom surprised us and gave birth quicker than expected. Total surprise. New subscriber and looking forward to following along!
@@homesteadingwithPJ it did. The ewe had pregnant toxemia and we caught her in time to nurse her back to health and for her to give birth. She ended up having twins but one didn't' make it. Have you had to deal with toxemia before?
@@SheratonParkFarms Luckily no, these two ewes are my first mothers in my flock. Is it mostly diet related? Obviously if they are carrying twins or triplets that increases the likelihood.
I find that a ram should have 6 weeks with ewes. AndI find that usually 5 months after I remove the ram is when I can expect sheep. They usually don't breed immediately. At least, mine don't. I've heard the really big operations will move rams really far away from the ewes all year, and then put in a weather (casterated ram) to get the ewes to all "cycle up" at the same time. Then throw in the stud rams.
Great info on the signs. Also I was thinking on getting 2 pregnant ewes I already have 1 ewe lambs. To start small. Thank you so much saw video of the twins as well. I am new but getting great info on your TH-cam channel.
Glad to have you along Zona! Sounds like you're doing things very similar to me. This is my first experience with this kind of thing, but so far so good.
Subscribed bud. And thank you for your advice so far. Question - do you get predators there? We get a lot of foxes so I put the ewe and her lamb in cage 3x4 meter. When is a lamb big enough to ward off predators? Love your content champion, thanks again.
I'm trying to figure out if Mt ewe is pregnant but she's also extremely fat so when she lays down she looks pregnant but she has for 2 years so how to I tell the difference between a very fat ewe and a pregnant one
I lost a door set you was so three or four babies in her because she got toxemia apparently it runs rampant in female sheeps when they're pregnant that's something you might want to get them shots for I know I'm going to
I bought these with docked tails. Since this is a registered flock, I try to sell as many as I can for breeding stock. And they are often overlooked if they still have their tail.
Yup I learned this lesson early. This video was in my first few months of being on TH-cam. I'm still not perfect, but we focus much more on animals and not me now.

Another great video PJ. Excited to see the babies when they get here.
Us too!
@@homesteadingwithPJ your reply is 9 months old so...........
Are the babies there yet? 🤔

How early did the early lamb come? Did everything work out?

I have sheep so I need to watch this
Thank you. This was helpful.
How soon do you start counting once you expose them to the ram?? Trying to see when I should expect babies.

Watching from Philippines.
Our first time ewes seem to take longer to "bag" up than our mature ewes. This was very good.
That's REALLY good to know! Because it seemed like it was longer for my ewes last year (all of which were first time moms).

Foxes aren't a big threat, at least they haven't been to my flock.
@@homesteadingwithPJ thank you for your reply. Kind regards
I have also a sheep with one male kid
We running at most highy mountain with same herd sheep
👍 Karakorum mountain range pastures
Mine are starting to hang out in their shelter much more...hoping it's a good sign. :)
Hopefully you're getting close.
@@homesteadingwithPJ first one is projected for around May 5th we used a young ram and I think it took him a while to service everyone.
I have a sheep but I’m not exactly sure what breed she is .. and I’m confused as to if she’s pregnant or not .. what can I do ?
Watch the private areas. That's the best way to tell.
Hay understand
I'm trying to figure out if Mt ewe is pregnant but she's also extremely fat so when she lays down she looks pregnant but she has for 2 years so how to I tell the difference between a very fat ewe and a pregnant one
It's next to impossible to know for sure until the last month of pregnancy.
Hello po new friend here .
Awesome, thanks for stopping by.
I lost a door set you was so three or four babies in her because she got toxemia apparently it runs rampant in female sheeps when they're pregnant that's something you might want to get them shots for I know I'm going to
That's a Dorset.
Did you cut their tail?
I bought these with docked tails. Since this is a registered flock, I try to sell as many as I can for breeding stock. And they are often overlooked if they still have their tail.
You should try filming the sheep and show us what you talking about, not what you using to talk
