This ewe is Karen... and she only just had twins in early January 2023.
We are now mid August 2023, and she has popped out another set of twins.
I only put the ram, Whiskers back into the ewe flock at the end of June 2023.
So who is the Daddy?
Playboy, Party boy Blake... who is supposed to be a whether, but he is obviously a total charmer. I did have my suspicions that he might be functional... and now we have the proof. Blake doesnt really take any interest in the ewes so he runs with the ewe flock all year, but that might have to change.
Interestingly, so Karen has given birth to 2 sets of twins in 8 months. A busy lady.
Arapawa's are very good breeders but I prefer to only let them become pregnant once a year... as the ewes need a break.
The only question that remains... is how many more little Blakes can we expect?
