Recommended to keep males and females separate except for mating time, and sheep need at least 1 buddy for company. Separation is recommended so you can control and prepare for lambing.
St Croix can mate three times in 24 months, or once a year - depending on your preferences. Lambing rate is typically 200% with twins and triplets very common in ewes older than 1 year.
Ewes are vaccinated against CD/T and abortive bacterias Campylobacter Fetus-Jejuni Bacterin and Chlamydia Abortus Bacterin. Ram & wether is vaccinated against CD/T. All animals are OPP tested negative.
