Sounds trite when you are hurting but it really is true that things happen for a reason. Better will come. <br />I love my BFL Shetland lambs. They get the best of both worlds. Don't they just bounce like baby Shetlands? The fleeces are amazing too.Potosi Sheep Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10591998858585998169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738593840518763947.post-59851852834791281452010-03-25T19:14:18.443-05:002010-03-25T19:14:18.443-05:00Hi Kim!

They were all over 85 pounds at the Jefferson show last fall. They are the biggest sheep in my Shetland pen :)<br /><br />If they are 80+ pounds this fall (the new lambs) I will breed them to the Texel, unless these first 5 yearlings have lambing problems.Ebonwald Cardiganshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17749634503191909772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738593840518763947.post-5573635327627075112010-03-25T16:52:48.637-05:002010-03-25T16:52:48.637-05:00Congratulations on your first mule lambs, Garrett....Congratulations on your first mule lambs, Garrett. Did you weigh them? Our mule lambs ranged from 5-10 lbs. The Shetland Mules are just beautiful sheep, I'm sure you'll love their fiber too.Becky Utechthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08809607308191360481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738593840518763947.post-58585915581957365672010-03-25T16:33:50.252-05:002010-03-25T16:33:50.252-05:00Crongrats again on your new mule babies!

I just had Gail V's shearer here today and he was talking about his experience with the mules during his trips to Ireland. All positive, all very encouraging. <br /><br />You go guy....enjoy, be happy, find peace.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16501287791665224636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738593840518763947.post-42791270790335769762010-03-25T15:52:14.276-05:002010-03-25T15:52:14.276-05:00I'd like to suggest you rethink your plans to ...I'd like to suggest you rethink your plans to breed these ewe lambs this fall to your Texel. When I look at my yearling mule ewes there is no way they could handle lambing this year. I have several 2 yr olds that are bred and there is a huge size difference. If you feel they should be bred, maybe use a Shetland ram rather than the Texel?<br /><br />So very sorry for your break up.Kim Nikolaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297342653492178854noreply@blogger.com
