LOL!  There is simply *nothing* that Vermont and New Hampshire have in
common (except arctic air)... the majority of my lambs, *every year for the
last 4 years* have been males! (even from Betty's stock!).  Must be the
Granite Grit in the water.....Keeps the freezer full and the children fed,
so that's not a complaint !:-)

 " Nope!  I've never had a year with more ram lambs than ewe lambs.  I think
it's due to the acidity of the soil, though some experts laugh at me.  LEt
'em laugh!  Once, I had equal numbers, but generally, my ewe lambs far
outnumber ram lambs. I have noticed that with different rams, there are
consistently more daughters than sons, so maybe I just lucked out in rams a
few times!  (Watch, this year, for the first time in 9 years, I'll have all
ram lambs.  Knock on wood, no!) Betty in Vermont. "
