I started with 4 ewes. This is my 5th crop. I sell all the males, keep a couple of ewes (up until now), cull a few and viola, I have 20. They multiple fast.
I ran a white dorper ram on katahdin. We had 4 set of triplets this year. Most yet.

My stock is not registered. I sell by the pound. I use the San Angelo Texas market report to price for live sales.
I started with registered Katahdin ewes. I used registered registered Katahdin rams for 3 season, a registered black headed Dorper, last season, and a registered white Dorper this season
Our ewes were supposed to start dropping lambs a week ago. They haven't and I put the temporary fence out today because the rye and wheat were going to get out of control. I think they are all just fat.
Not really. But it had to be grazed down before it became unmanageable:
