Anyone else seem to be getting more ram lambs to ewe lambs this season or is it just my turn!! It's working out at a ratio of 10 rams to 6 ewes so far.

I'm the other way this year, 24/36 ewe lambs.  Last year was half and half

[Backinwellies]

On my third year of half and half .... but last year the first third born were boys this year first  8 lambed girls .... all evened out by the end. 

 Oh and following last years thread on Old rams producing boys and younger ones girls (which was correct last year) has been totally blown by our ram lamb fathering all boys!

Mmmmm I managed to lose  my list night before last  sooo We know many have lambed, all numbered up bar the last 24 hours, but I can't give a ratio yet

Only had 4 sets of twins so far and all but one set have been one of each. The last ones were two gimmers though.

Out of one of my tups I've only had 1 ewe lamb!!!!! Grrrrrrr

Loads of ram lambs this year

[Buttermilk]

14 ram to 9 ewe lambs here.

year before last: 1 ram / 6 ewe; last year: 2 ram / 9 ewe; Bit early to say this year as only three of my ten ewes have lambed so far but it's running at 3 / 3 so far...

I think it depends entirely on what you want! We were hoping for lots of boys this year so we wouldn't have to worry about the tup with his daughters and we could use the same tup again without splitting the flock. So far 4 girls, one boy!

[JedM]

3 rams, 7 ewes here.  All 3 rams were singles

I think it depends entirely on what you want!

So right.  I wasn't bothered about ewe lambs so much his year, got plenty of nice ones to choose from from last year.  So, 2/3 ewe lambs.  I did hope for a ewe lamb or two from the black Wensleydale glimmers, though - so both have had a tup lamb.  .  I knew the tup had caught a few of his daughters, so hoped for tup lambs there, to make it easier to keep track - all ewe lambs bar one!

On the plus side, I've got four really good single ewe lambs from four ewes with particularly interesting fleeces, so I'm delighted about them.

[Hillview Farm]

I normally have more ewe lambs but this year I'd say over 80% are rams!

[Hellybee]

If I remember rightly when penning up there's been a lot of mixed doubles 

[Hevxxx99]

2 to 1 gimmers to wethers so far now. I'm pleased as I want to build up my flock.

14 lambs born so far - 10 boys, 4 girls... 5 left to lamb.....
