They've gone from this (at about 20 pounds)...
to this (around 150 to 175 pounds)...
We are also trying to purchase a ewe from a meat breed (our Shetlands are really a wool breed). We are considering a St. Croix and will possibly get one soon. We will then breed her with our ram Pete so that the lambs will have a more meaty carcass than Shetlands have.
Like squirrels, we are stocking up for the winter and will pick up a half of a beef in about two weeks. That should fill the freezer!
