Leil & Lana
Clancy and I gave CD&T shots to all the ewes last night. And I also snipped off wool samples from every girl to send out for micron testing.
Here's hoping the results come back very soon!

Having the girls on their backsides for a minute gave me a good look at which ones are bagging up. None of them are due till April 16th or later. But it looks like a couple will come in quite close to that date.
In order of biggest bag to smallest, with ewe color and ram mate in parenthesis.
Courante = scurred black katmoget. Ash = polled moorit.
Hannah (moorit x Courante)
Leil (gray x Ash)
January (moorit kat x Courante)
Nhu (black kat x Courante)
Sian (black x Ash)
Vianne (white x Ash)
Lana (black gulmoget x Ash)
Lyneth (white x Courante)
Unfortunately, Lyneth and Lana are not showing any signs of being bred yet. Lyneth didn't take last year so I'm starting to doubt her ability to breed. I am hoping my dear little gully girl took, though. The ewes were with rams for an extra long time this season. I suppose both girls could be bred and just not showing yet. Please, please, pretty please!

Great photos! Lovely fleeces!
Thanks so much, Stephen!
We sheared a couple weeks ago and I was certain that my little moorit out of Hannah wasn't bred, but now I think she's starting to make a bag! I left the rams in for a long time this year so late lambs are possible. I'll keep my fingers crossed that Lana is bred!
