[Jacob-list] breeding

[Paintedrockfarm at aol.com]

I guess we are the lone rangers in carrying 5 separate breeding groups this  
year.  We enjoy diversity as much as the next shepherd and its work does  pay 
off!  Franklin got the early bird group of 8 ewes -- due in February,  which 
is a first for us.  We are hoping to go to MD S&W for the shows  and noticed 
the lamb requirements for showing reflect a mid-Feb. birthday or  sooner.  We 
normally like to have our lambs start arriving about the 3rd  week of March.
 
Ford, Cascade and Asher all got their fair share of 10 ewes each and will  be 
due mid/late March.  Colder temps and a dusting of snow kicked off the  end 
of the breeding season for us here in WV.  Around here, we know that  the snow 
can fly at any time now and better we have sheep in their "wintering"  areas 
before it gets too bad.
 
Hope all is well with you all! -- Cheryl
