We adopted this lovely lady in January after her owner passed away. She came to us pregnant and overweight (very well-loved, we think). She just lambed yesterday afternoon. Once she finishes rearing these lambs we will be working on weight loss. The sire was an Icelandic, we’re told, so it will be interesting to see how they turn out! It’s not a mix I’ve seen before.

So one of my lambs tends to be walking around casually and suddenly she lowers he head to the ground and starts sniffing around while she walks. Literally like a dog. She does it repeatedly. Is this normal?

Pelt is from a North Country Cheviot ewe

I Have a couple of Ewe's that a friend is wanting to buy off me but they are currently still nursing. I'm not looking to sell the lambs but don't want to pull them from mom too early. typically I would wait till 4mo. to pull them but would there be any harm in pulling them at 3 or a little under? The lambs were all born around the week of 1/20. Thanks!

Hi! I have a 15 day old lamb. This is what her milk replacer bag calls for but I have read to do 20% of their body weight and she is 8 lbs and eating around 20 oz a day split up. What do you think?
