11/6/2005Breeding BeginsToday the rams and ewes have been put together for their breeding season. Our older ram, "Paragon", a white Leicester Longwool, has four ewes to service, while our new Black Leicester Longwool ram "Charles" has two ewes. I plan to leave them in these groups for at least two heat cycles, about 34 days, so that brings us into late December. Since "Charles" isn’t proven yet, I’ll put his two ewes in with "Paragon" for a month afterward to "clean up". If all goes well, I’ll be expecting lambs on March 25 and on. Stay tuned….
