Tiger Lily

Tiger Lily is a BEAUTIFUL Katahdin ewe of ours. We got her on July 27th, 2012. I do not know exactly how old she is but, my guess is between 4 to 6 years old. She has EXCELLENT conformation and is built VERY nice and big and meaty/stocky. She has BEAUTIFUL coloring. She is white with chocolate ticking all over her body along with some bigger ticking/small spots.

She is running with our Katahdin ram, Martinez right now.

Here are some pictures ~

Spotty Lambed ~ June 5th, 2012!!

On June 5th, 2012 when my mom and one of my little sisters went out to feed the dogs late at night they found Spotty with a white new born ram lamb. Earlier that morning we brought Spotty up from the pasture, because she was VERY swollen and her udder was HUGE . . . even though she was 9 days away from her due date (she was just to ready looking to go out to pasture with the rest of the sheep).

The sire to the lamb is Panda, one of our Finnish Landrace rams and the dam is Spotty, one of our meat breed ewes.

Spot Lambed ~ June 4th, 2012!!

On Monday, June 4th, 2012 around 7:00 to 8:00am I went to check on Spot (I hadn't checked on her for several hours:)). When I went out I looked down by the chicken coop and saw a little lamb so I looked closer and sure enough Spot had twin lambs already out and standing. She had 1 BEAUTIFULLY red spotted EWE lamb and 1 pretty mostly white ram lamb with some red spots on his head and neck (he is marked almost identically like Spot [his mom]).

The sire to the lambs is a red Katahdin ram we use to own, Big Salmon and the dam is a Katahdin ewe of ours, Spot.

Here are some pictures ~

This is the ewe lamb, we plan on keeping her as a breeder.



This is the ram lamb, I don't know if we will be keeping him yet.

Brenta

Brenta is a HUGE Dorper ewe of ours. She has nice conformation and is VERY big, nice and muscular. We got her from the Warren Livestock Auction in Leach, OK back in 2011. I do not know who her owners are, so I cannot say exactly how old she is and I can not say that she is a purebred Dorper.


You can go here to see her 2012 lambing ~ http://littlehillssheepranch.blogspot.com/2012/02/brenta-lambed-february-15th-2012.html

Snickers

Snickers is a very big, black and white Dorper ewe of ours. She does not have the perfect Dorper markings, but that is just fine with me. She does not have the best conformation or build, but she still has a very nice, big and muscular built body. I believe she is about 5 to 6 years old. She was bred to Rocky, a Katahdin ram and had triplets back in January of 2011 . . . 1 girl and 2 boys. They were/are very nice and big sheep . . . she throws beautiful offspring. She was bred again to Rocky, the Katahdin ram and is due sometime soon.


Here are some pictures ~


The first 3 pictures are of her back in 2009 or 2010 I believe.



The rest of the pictures below are of her near the end of 2011.
