Last fall, we put nine ewes in with Gunpowder, and ten ewes delivered lambs this spring. Not only did Gunpowder do a good job, he's a miracle worker! (Just kidding...Henrietta visited one afternoon in November.)
Ten ewes delivered fifteen lambs. Our lambing percentage was 150%. Five ewes had twins; five ewes had singles. Eight lambs are ewes, and seven are rams.
It seemed in the beginning that we would have only black sheep. However:
Black (and Greys): 9
Browns: 4
White: 2
I attempted to get pictures of all the lambs, but I failed miserably.
