Fancy surprised us with a big 9 lb. black mouflon ram lamb this late afternoon. My daughter and I had gone into the barn to give Bose to the Tuesday-born lambs, and there he was, all dried off and fed. Fancy is a black mouflon badgerface, which is a double pattern. I love the mouflon pattern, too bad he isn't a she! Sire is Echo.

I will tell Echo that he is a daddy. I think this is going to be a ram year! We are still in a holding pattern here. We give Bose when the lambs are first born, do they need a repeat injection? I don't have any recipes for sheep milk soap. I don't see why goat milk and sheep milk cant be interchangable. I will google for any sheep milk recipes. We sold a ram lamb today. They will pick him up in a couple of weeks. He is non registerable. I don't think I like this part either. I want to keep them all!!!! Archer (Finns son) will stay here. He is doing well. I love the lamb races in the afternoon. We need more sheep. Oh, did that really come out of my mouth? I wish we lived closer. Can you stick a ewe lamb in a box and ship her UPS? Best wishes for ewe lambs.

We gave the bose shots the 2nd day, just because we were too busy on the day they were born. I ALWAYS take time to do the iodine dip, then deworm the ewe the first day, though. I do give bose shots throughout the summer, up to once per month, on those that I think need it (mostly lambs).
I ordered a book on soap making. It seems like I've learned everything that way, through books, and the wonders of the internet!
I agree, I think you need more sheep, too! They are quite addictive!
