Lambing is pretty colorful this year with 5 different breeds of lambs being born.
We have Dorsets, Blackface, Scotch Mules, Scotch Mule x Suffolks, and 3/4 Bluefaced Leicesters.
It has been a 2 1/2 year process since we started our Scotch Mule program, and we have been waiting anxiously to see how they perform. So far, we absolutely love them. Their mothering is second to none, and their Suffolk sired lambs are gorgeous! They have not disappointed us. Now we know for ourselves, why there are millions of Scotch Mules in the UK! We will be keeping track of the rate of gain on their lambs to see how they do.
We plan to continue to build up a flock of about 100 Scotch Mule breeding ewes and then we will start selling ewe lambs and yearling ewes.
