Not too sure how long this will be- between putting the kids down for a nap, and attempting to get things done, there is just never enough time in a day! November had a very nice red Dexter bull calf born here- so far he looks quite nice. Nice topline, nice head. We'll have to see how he develops over the next six months or so- I've posted a picture of the little guy when he was about a month old.
Our Romanovs that we purchased last year are due to lamb in the last week of January- looks pretty exciting- though it looks as though one slipped her lambs early on in her pregnancy. The rest look like they are all going to twin, though as it is my first lambing with them- I could be mistaken.
In the summer, the day I was due with our fifth child- I sent my husband off to New York to pick up a starter flock of Finnsheep. Much work and planning went into this importation, and it didn't happen without tons of effort on both my part as well as the breeder I purchased from. They did manage to get here though, as well as a group of seven Finnsheep that were brought in from Alberta. We have a nice flock of Finns now- we are starting with 12 ewes and 2 rams- one of which is a Silver Badgerface- absolutely gorgeous!!

Looking forward to seeing pics of the new Romanov lambs you have had born.
I am just lambing mine out now. Having mostly twins and triplets out of the registered girls, but had 2 sets of quads so far out of 2 high % Romanov ewes I raised. Go figure, eh?
