Thanks. Lamborghini has been a great addition. We had some really nice crossbred lambs by him out of our Ile de France ewes and have kept 3 of his daughters for breeding ewes. They will be used in our fall lambing group next year. We are really looking forward to purebreds from him and our new ewes!
They are a very consistent group and we are looking forward to see how they produce. We are still on target to move a week from Friday. There's a lot to get done before the move for sure.
Really nice ewe lambs. (Though Lynn won't like how short they are docked.) The one you bought in the sale was chock full of Slack breeding on both the sire and dam side. I've known the Slack name for most of my life. (I grew up in Ohio, and they showed at the Ohio State Fair pretty regularly.) As far as I know, they have an excellent reputation. It looks like they have transitioned more into the club lamb business. In any case, good luck! I hope they do well for you! Lamborghini will be a superb outcross sire for them.
Thanks Craig. I agree with Lynn, I don't like the extremely short docking either. We leave a tail on ours. These lambs are more of the "slick" style rather than the fitted style which are much taller, and a lot of the club lambs come from. 2 of the 4 lambs are linebred so they should produce similar type lambs and an outcross to Lamborghini should work well (fingers crossed). As I always say, you make a plan on paper..........and then life happens LOL! We are excited to see how they do!
I follow Lynn and Arnie so remember well when Lamborghini joined your flock...how exciting re your new additions :)

Congratulations on your new sheep! They are so pretty.
Thank you! We are so excited to have them.
Really like the consistent look of your new Ewes. It will be interesting to watch how they come along and how the lambing goes. Now on to moving 😊
