Bay, you know me I'm clueless to weight. Is this a good amount? Or were they on the light side for the breed?

Bay .... can you tell us what the breed parentage is for this year old weather ? This will help in what to expect to get a percentage of live to hanging weight.

This wether was 3/4 Dorper and 1/4 Katahdin.

Did this weather have a thin / light bone conformation ? My across the road neighbor's Dorper (very meaty type conformation ram ) x Ramboullet (wool type ewes ) 9months to year old weathers raised on pasture alone, dress out 20+pounds more. This ram when crossed with his Barbados - small, fine boned more wild type ewes ( he sells these cross ram lambs to Muslims for their holidays ) these lambs dress out about 40-50 lbs.

Yep, out of a small ewe and the ram wasn’t all that, either. This is my learner flock. I’ll be up grading to registered Katahdins in the next year.

What are the sheep with 4 horns? Think they look like Dr Seuss sheep.
