The ewes you see all lambed as yearlings and had no problems. The average lamb size born to the starter flock was 8 lbs., the largest being 10 lbs.
All singles save for one who had twins.
We also lambed with our Katahdin and Barbados sheep. The Dorpcroix have maintained perfect condition as compared to our other stock on the same feeding program. We hope to have breed stock for sale for mid to late spring 2001. Our Ram seen here with two of our ewes was born in February of 2000. On delivery to our ranch this ram at three months weighed in at 63 lbs. and averaged .808 lbs.
