We have had the ram in for about a month or so and most have been bred. We switch rams about every 3 weeks so the switch was made about 5 days ago. Last...
Hope you are alright....the last time I had a ram knock me down...I fell into the gravel & manure and ended up with a very nasty infection. But that taught...
I hope you are okay too. I have been knocked down by a ram twice (same ram, not a tunis). He went to the butcher. The ram that I had who wouldn't stop fighting...
I use an old liquid soap bottle filled with water. When our one ram gets that "look" in his eye, like he's getting ready to ram me, he gets a squirt of water...
does anyone have exclusively grass-fed lambs? Can you tell me what the average weight is around 4-6 months? thanks Cathy (who is still waffling on what kind of...
Not exclusively grass fed since mine are offered feed in a creep for a short period of time at weaning, but the lambs I have who were born in Feb and March are...
I offered creep for the first time this year, until they were about 2.5 months old, otherwise they get alfalfa. Higher in protein then grass. Mine were all...
I agree with Julie. I have a heeler that is just too rough to work on my ewes and lambs---she gripps everything she moves. But when I have to work with rams...
Mine were born in a two week span of April. We had one triplet family(small) mostly twins and one single. I only feed grain to nursing ewes. They have been...
We mostly grass-feed and our twin ewe lambs born on 4/15 were 57 and 63lbs at weaning on 8/11. Our single ewe lamb was 85lbs. She was 10 days older than...
A side note... keep in mind your varying percentage of carcass weights among the various breeds. My tunis hang a higher % than my EF, Laucaune, Karahkul, or...
I recently joined the Sheep-L list but am clueless! I'm used to lists like Yahoo and forum-types. Can anyone explain this mysterious and confusing Sheep-L?...
When we bought our current ram we asked the young lady who was selling it if she had ever given him a name. Her reply was that she had never named him; she...
A report on the TN State Fair from here in TN... Shannon had a great day... won every class in AOB against a bunch of Cheviots and Oxfords. Her ram lamb (who...

Becky-- Yeah--I'm kind of surprised more Tunis breeders don't emphasize our listing on Slow Food USA's Ark of Taste. All of our lamb customers have raved...
After I saw how much the 1/2 Tunis was I had to check out what FedEx prices for overnight deliver because it said it's included (it's the researcher in...
