When we got our Shetland/Finn sheep, we heard a rumor.
The rumor was that one of the ewes may have already been bred. Since we have two ewes and a ram anyway, breeding is the goal, but to get a pregnant one right away is always a bonus. Here in this vlog I share a little more about the situation.
ARE EWE PREGNANT VLOG
SHE JUST MIGHT BE
The larger ewe with the white on her face on the far left is the one in question. She's at least a year older than the other two anyway, so she's bigger to begin to begin with. One thing that makes it harder to determine is the wool. Soon we will shear the sheep which will give us a better look at her actual body, but at the moment it is still too early.
Since sheep have about a five month gestation period, and since we got these sheep about four months ago, we may have some little lambs soon. One interesting thing about Finn Sheep is that they are known for littering which means that having multiple lambs at one time is common. Wouldn't that be interesting to suddenly get three, four, or five lambs overnight? We certainly think so!
Time will tell, and we will be keeping an eye on her. The Jacobs Sheep are still doing well, but no more births yet. They were pregnant when we picked them up, which was another bonus. Whatever happens, we will keep you posted!

Thank you! They really are, so hopefully there will be more soon!
Hi @papa-pepper every I want to sleep I always see get update on your post.
Keep posting and nice sharing brother
I have a question about the wool. Have you had any experience selling it yet? Is white wool the highest seller? How does having Jacob's sheep with a lot of other colors and Finn sheep the color of yours affect prices?
Wool is important clothing in cold climates. It insulates and wicks perspiration unlike cotton. Merino wool is a very effective wool.
I'm loving animals this days. Very soon i'll start rearing some. I think i'll have to start with a fowl poultry. That will be more easier for mw to start with and i hope i can learn from @papa-perpper when i'm confused.
Good idea! We started there too!
Wow! That means i'm on the right path. I'll do that as soon as earn more to have enough capital. Thanks @papa-pepper

Looking forward to the good news of the delivery of the baby lambs...

Congratulations in advance @papa-pepper... that will be great news if you confirm that the ewe is really pregnant, by the way how will you knowif it is really pregnant... can they go to unltrasound too?
it really would be a plus to have more of them around especially for someone who loves animals
You're having WAY too much fun.
Ewesing a sheep for a pillow.
LOL! Never heard it used that way!
Ewe haven't? Whewe Newe?
you have a profitable pets @papa-pepper, because sheep can give birth 3 times in 2 years, Every time a lamb can give birth to triplets.
These can give birth twice each year, can be bred at six months, and can have more than five lambs at a time! We will see!
I was just about to ask, why they were running around. The raccoon must have really gotten them scared, more reason your observation of them, standing aloof was right. I hope you find a solution soon Papa. You surely have a magic wand, that makes you get at least, a pregnant animal, upon purchase and cheaper too. I need that touch, Papa.
you are the most extraordinary person I have ever known success in raising animals. I am very impressed with you @papa-pepper
Another clever animal pun. I like it. I hope you get a bunch of little sheepies!
I love animal puns! We saw some goats give birth to triplets last year, no kidding ;)
LOL - Love it!
By you are getting a lot of animals. i'm having a hard time to keep track. Sheep, 2 kinds, goats. All cool to watch. Love the video of them running.
Es agradable ver sus post, siempre aprendemos un poco mas, gracias.
I'm excited to find out if you'll have some little lambs running around soon!
@papa-pepper Looks like the family is growing :) ...we hope. Steem on !
I thought the sheep were just performing for the video. They run much faster than you would think by looking at them. We have 4 baby goats at this time from 3 does. For some reason one doe never produced milk. When one of the other momma’s are feeding, I hold gently hold her and talk a little goat talk, my wife sneaks in the other diner. Seems to work!
God bless!
this is like cartoon shaun sheep ,,,, :)
so adorable ,,,
hopefully more children ,,, so the more funny action of this animal ,,,
Good luck papa,,, :)
It will be another, different baby for the Little-Peppers to feed,
It will be interesting to see how sheep do on goats milk.
you may have to sub-contract part of the feeding job to Bluerthengreen's kids to keep up with all the babies you will have to fed
Hi pappa-pepper man I LOVE that wonderful, warm and woolly pillow you have there!!!!
This is exciting news on any homestead. I can't wait to see how many little ones are actually born this spring!
When they start to look really lopsided, and have super red swollen giblets.
thank you for share........very beautiful animals
