100 - Shetland Sheep Lambs on our farm

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

Lambs that were born this spring, April 2023, are from 3 ewes that we artificially inseminated with UK ram genetics in order to expand the genetic diversity of our flock, while maintaining the soft, crimpy fiber that our handspinners enjoy.
I hope you enjoy this video all about these dear sweet lambs.

    It’s amazing how they can start/, jump and turn on a dime. This was fun, I missed the frolics. ❤

    I was wondering how the lambs were doing. Shearing season, fair season and such so I have no time for fun stuff. So thank you so much for loading me up on overwhelming cute. Not only that but my herding dogs couldn't handle the Mama mummer. Only one of them knows to look at the TV. LOL. He was the dog who raised two abandoned lambs. They looked all over the house for the lambs. Haha it was great fun. Then... Lamb Games. Hollywood should make a movie! Oh my Goodness. I love it!

    I missed this one, what a fun and educational video. I've always been intrigued with genetics, but then I love science :).

    Thanks! I am glad you enjoyed the video - I have a lot to learn about the genetics, but I do enjoy going over the basics from time to time

    Was so happy to see this video pop up! Been waiting patiently to see how lambing went and you have some gorgeous ewes there. I absolutely love those Katmogets! I'm getting excited...husband is finally retired and we're actively searching for our dream farm in Kentucky. Another season or two and I may be reaching out for my starter sheep!! 🙂

    Yes, that's exactly what I thought! I was waiting each week for a video with the AI ewes and lambs. At least you got 6 lambs ( I had hoped for more, I'm sure, you too). Thank you so much for sharing!

    Oh that is so exciting! Good luck on your search, I'll bet there are some gorgeous farms down there. Let me know if you have any questions or need sheep accomodation advice.

    Thanks Nina - Honestly, I am just thrilled with our results, and even though I wanted rams, it is SO NICE not having to manage new rams for a whole year. Come to think of it, that might be a good video topic, "Ram management..." Have a great day!

    Hi Jen, congratulations on the new lambs. They are adorable. Do you know if any other of the AI lambs were rams lambs? Thanks for the video. It was great

    Good times. Love the Correcting Cat. And what's that cool 3-inch PVC drinking or feeding system, from which we saw a ewe stick her snout into?

    Hi cous! Thanks - yes, Trixie our cat is very knowledgeable. Rich made the mineral feeder, works pretty well to keep them up on their vitamins. Hope all is well with you!
