When do you breed your females for the first time?

Of course the age should be at least 14 -16 months for the first try.

When do you breed your females for the first time?

You can breed females at anytime if open. You can rebreed females 21 days after birth. They will accept the male within a few minutes or they will spit them off and not settle down.

I am such a goof. I should have read the replies before I wrote. Someone already answered your question AND told you about Knit Picks! LOL!

Laura Roberts replied to POLLY GRAY's discussion 'ball winders'

I bought my ball winder at Knit Picks. I think I paid $19.95 for it. It works fine. The other item you might be seeing is a swift, maybe. I don't have one. I am not sure how they work. They are pricey so I didn't buy one! Try knitpicks.com and see t…

I PURCHASED A BALL WINDER SIMILAR TO THIS. IT WAS AT LEAST 19 YEARS AGO AND I STILL HAVE IT AND IT STILL WORKS WELL. MY ADVICE IS TO CLAMP IT DOWN, AS IN THE HAND IT IS WOBBLY! Oops, sorry about all caps. I paid about 30.$$ at that time, but I also…

I HAVE BEEN TEACHING THEM TO WALK ON A LEAD, ONE IS DOING REAL WELL, THE OTHER-WELL, IT IS A BATTLE OF THE WILLS, BUT WE ARE GETTING THERE. I WOULD LIKE TO LEARN TO SPIN, FOR NOW THOUGH I HAVE A FRIEND THAT KNITS, AND SHE IS GOING TO MAKE ME MY FIRST AFGAN(?) FROM MY YARD. ANYHOW, I LOVE MY GIRLS, AND SINCE I AM NEW TO THIS WORLD I AM OPEN TO ALL ADVISE :) . THANKS

At 2:15pm on January 19, 2010, Nancy Schell ~ Walnut Hill Farm said…: If it gets too wet... just take it off and let it air dry. Then try again later when its dry.
I wash fiber all the time and it rarely felts. And when it does, it's usually not enough to worry about. I can pull it apart with my fingers. It is usually along the edges/ends of the fiber. Carding takes care of any i miss...

you only need a hint of moisture... or you might try a dryer sheet held over the fiber as it goes thru the carder...

At 5:24pm on January 14, 2010, Linda Harrison said…: Sheep - I only have one Ram and two Ewes. Also twin boys from one of the ewes. All are black which includes brown and gray shades. The ram got so fat he couldn't mount the ewes so no lambs in two years. He has been on a diet since spring and is in with the girls but I haven't seen any breeding. Sure hope for lambs this spring or the diet will continue! No, sorry, none for sale now. Sheep are a lot more work than alpacas! But very friendly and worth the work.
