                                                                    Lambing starts from March/April onwards.  The Oklahoma heat means that the earlier in the year that the lambs can be born, the faster they will grow and the less parasite problems they endure.

                                                                    Petal lambed prematurely on February 17th.  She was bred to Majyk.
