Still going

Well, it's 2020 and we're still going on this crazy project. I usually only AI a small number of ewes, and not every year. But last year (2019) we had our first 90% lamb 'Tuck' (a ram, 25% Tom and 65.625% Charles). 

So in addition to being the oldest Kerry Hill flock in the USA (started in 2006), we've also got the purest Kerry Hill Ram.

Now granted, it's just the one...

This year we had three sets of twins and one singleton from fours ewes (natural bred from our 87.5% cleanup ram). The ewes are between 81.25 and 87.5. Next season the new guy gets a shot.
