Adult Ewes

Here are the lovely ladies.
I plan to only keep 5-6 adult sheep at all times, and exception being lambs still with their moms.
I consider the ewes to be "adult" around 8 months of age.
They've basically almost reached their full size by then.
Any ewes under 8 months will be shown in the Lamb section.

This is the first ewe lamb I ever purchased, she is Wendy's first offspring.
MaryEllen is a smaller ewe,  but stocky and a good mother.
Very vocal and has a crusty personality.
Just turned a year back in March.
Lambed mid-Feb and had two healthy twins!
Roughly 87.5% Katahdin
12.5% Blackbelly






This is Pax. She's mostly Katahdin with a bit of St. Croix.
She has lovely panda markings and she's a real sweetheart!
1 year old in this photo.
Hoping that she will lamb mid-August.
Roughly - 75% Katahdin,
25% St. Croix
( She is recorded in the KHSI as 50% Katahdin )

Here's Diana.
She came with Pax, and they are definitely buddies.
Diana is very cute, but can be aggressive.
She has a nice long body, and I can't wait to see what she produces.
Hoping she will lamb in mid-May
50% St.Croix
37.5% Katahdin
12.5% Dorper

This is Wendy, she is the second ewe I purchased back last year.
She's fairly dominant, and can push her weight around.
She raised two healthy twin lambs Jan 2014, and had raised a ewe lamb the year before.
She's roughly 2 years as of April 2014.
Around 75% Katahdin
25% Blackbelly
