Hi all:
I am fairly new to sheep, and have two seven month old BB ewes.

She obviously does not feel well. Her ears are droopy.

Hi all:
I am in the process of putting up fence for my BB sheep. For my paddock area I
have used sheep and goat fencing with 4x4 squares with electric

field fence? I would like to fence our perimeter, and the

Hi all:
I just had my second ewe lamb last night. She had twins, a ram and a ewe
between 2:45 and 3:45 AM. When the first one (the ram) was born she began to
clean him off, but once he moved she began butting him into the wall.
Fortunately I was there to rescue him. She did a little better w
Thank you Mary. If you can find the picture that would be great. I've been
looking through the plans and have found a portable stanchion which would

I have a ram lamb that was born last Saturday (Sept 14). From the beginning he
wasn't right. He was born in the barn sometime between 2 AM and 7AM. When I
found him he was dried off, but had managed to get in behind the lambing jug,
and was stuck back there, inaccessible to Mom. I got him ou
Thanks to all who have given feedback on this little lamb. He seems to be
doing better with the regular bottle feedings, and is much stronger today.
