I switched to these feeders last week. Dinner time has so much less drama. No head butting and jumping over the feeders. Everyone gets to a place, and eats. Imagine.

Ever seen a unicorn? Ok I don’t have one, but this is Pepper. She did something never documented in the Harlequin breed before. Last year she birthed Quads and all 4 survived. šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘. Not only that, she produced 3.5 inch wool while doing it.

She’s bred for next springs lambs. What will this year bring?

New feeders!

Happy Sheep once they figured it out. I had always used a feeder made from an old plastic culvert. It was at ground level. It held water, and allowed them to butt heads over their ā€œturfā€. By raising the feeder, none of that. These are 10 feet long and pretty well built. Picked them up today. Since the food was off the ground they were confused for a minute, but figured it out pretty quickly.

Day 20 and that’s 22 ewes marked.   Waiting to see if we have any ewes cycle again.

The faces of the herd.
Babydoll Gale had blue eyes now they’ve turned more yellow.
F2 Velvet was the very 1st lamb born at Holland Hilltop Sheep. Early January birth, -9 degrees, nothing like learning quickly.
Gen A Persephone, a KidKat girl has haunting blue eyes.
Gen A Starfire, from the Memphis zoo, is a twin to Memphis my ram.
Gen C Rocket, Black Sparrow Ranch ram. The heart and soul of the herd. Not as approachable right now, but as soon as breeding season is over, he’ll be his normal gentle self.

There are many more out there. It takes varied genetics to create a herd.

Holland Hilltop Sheep produces all levels of Harlequin Sheep. F1BD to AP, every one contributes to my herd and the health and growth of the breed.

1 hold out. This was a ewe in with my ram lamb, he did mark the other ewe who was with him. Also only day 16, so there is time.
21 marked ewes. We’ll see if any cycle again. 22 in 17 days would be a bit hectic.

New metal roofs for the repurposed donation bin/buildings.   These have a great addition.
