Sometimes a light dusting of snow shows up as late as June. McCall is normally free of snow every year from July to September. How Many Snowstorms McCall Gets. Most days of snowfall in McCall leave at least an inch of fresh snow on the ground. For 20 days a year on average, the amount of new snow totals three inches or more. Snowstorms of over five inches a day normally occur six or seven times annually.
Ideally a ewe will have twins. The first couple of years they usually have just one and as they get older have just one. Some ewes will have triplets but are often unable to rear them all without help. We had a ewe last year that had five but sadly they all died.
Ordinarily, purebred sheep are fed at a higher nutrition level than are commercial flocks. A well-fed purebred flock is more productive and more attractive to prospective buyers than are sheep maintained on lower nutrition levels. To grow to maximum size, ewe and ram lambs must be born early. On most purebred sheep operations, breeding occurs in July and August. This usually results in a suboptimal lamb crop percentage because most ewes are more fertile during September and October.
