I think I remember seeing his fleece sample. Tame, friendly rams are nice to have! Several of my boys wage their tails. <br /><br />I am looking forward to seeing the AI lambs. (Funzie the F1 Jings is Fonteyn's daughter.) This time I focused more on size and overall conformation than I did in the past. <br /><br />Thanks Nancy, <br /><br />I usually feed at night in the dark (with a flash light), but since it was Sunday I got to feed early as I was not working. If I had fed in the dark I may not of seen her-I'm just glad I did!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586123852648939448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5941278546769386674.post-43299780710459207102011-01-05T06:04:20.924-08:002011-01-05T06:04:20.924-08:00With the silkiness and luster of both Silvia and S...With the silkiness and luster of both Silvia and Swan, you should get some smashing fleeces out of those breedings! As you know, Cleggan is out of Fraiche (Swan daughter), so that will be very good match there. Fonteyn's will be lovely as well (I remember that ewe, even though it's been something like 7 years since I saw her!).<br /><br />I'm using an F2 Drum ram with a gorgeous, crimpy, silky soft black fleece and am looking forward to his lambs. Black, as we call him, is now friendly enough that he wags his tail just like Cleg does when his chin is scratched.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06616932421270453008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5941278546769386674.post-2137053054814419662011-01-04T19:00:50.303-08:002011-01-04T19:00:50.303-08:00I had the exact same thing happen with one of my p...I had the exact same thing happen with one of my pregnant ewes last spring. Scared the gee-whiz out of me. I was SO lucky to find her because she was behind the barn and I just happened to walk back there ~ I normally don't go back there!<br /><br />P.S. This happened about a month before lambing and I was afraid she might lose her lambs but she delivered twins, with no problems a few weeks later.<br /><br />I'm sure Silvia will be fine.Nancy K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06061265740359266798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5941278546769386674.post-25473271490041628542011-01-04T17:33:16.226-08:002011-01-04T17:33:16.226-08:00Thanks everyone.
