Sac, I helped my sis get the majority of her sheep off a trailer a few days back. The seller said all the ewes had been exposed but couldn't give definite numbers... His rough estimate for lambing was March 20... A few have already hatched.
I have a feeling the next week or two will be busy.
Somewhere between 150-200 head right now... If things work out the way they hope they plan on expanding the operation even more.
