Sheep pictures

I'm so pleased that we've sold some more of our lovely Jacob ewe lambs, headed for breeding homes.

I must admit I have been naive about the quality of our sheep. The appreciation of some of my newfound sheep friends is helping grow my discerning eye and gratitude for the lovely ones we have. And with the current ram's super soft fleece added to the flock offspring -- well... amazing.

So, our spring lambs are looking more and more adult. Here are some pics of the gals who left this morning.

These lambs were all born in March, and are the last of our 4 horned ewe lambs from this year. We still have some 2 horned ewe lambs with nice markings and great fleece and hopefully will sell them, too.

Here is one of those:

One of my next endeavors is selling more of our sheepskins. Each is different of course, and here are pictures of a couple of them.






And who is this?



It's little Scotty who lives as a pet with some friends in Maine. This picture is from way back then when he was a little tyke. He ain't so little anymore!
