Hello,
We bought 5 more ewes this weekend from a private auction. They look nice and healthy and are eating well. We think we have figured out 2 are Romanov (dark brown almost reddish wool with black head and legs) and 1 is Hampshire (white wool and black head), but we're baffled about the other 2.
One of them has lots of light brown wool on her body, her legs have short curly dark brown wool, and her face is totally covered with short curly light brown wool. She looks like she has a mask over her head as her eyes and nose are dark. Her head is quite a bit wider and shorter than any of our others. I thought for sure I had seen this somewhere, but I can't find out what breed she is. She is very large with all this wool and quite tall (in comparison to my Shropshires)
The other one has nice cream wool, but her face and legs are covered with white and brown patches.
They are getting along so well with everyone else and are extremely curious about us. 2 of our rams are very curious about them and are making them feel welcome. They just sniff the ewes rear right now. How would we determine if they are pregnant?
Thank you,
Mouse
