Gail,
Well I am in Northeast Ohio; HOWEVER, I was thinking if I had enough people interested in some of the lambs, I would have no problem taking them up to the Michigan Fiber Festival in August. I have met Juliann up there twice and I enjoy the festival anyways. Now that I am out of school for the summer, I am going to get pictures of the lambs and their fleeces. The one smooth polled moorit ram has the tightest curl/crimp in his fleece. His twin however, has a softer, wavier fleece. I just want these poll carrying boys to go to homes that are interested in working with polled lines. All of my lambs were given BOSE at birth and the crop of lambs born on 4/19 already got their CDT shots. This weekend I will be giving the next group of lambs their CDT shots. I can always email pictures too:)

Michelle,
I love your honesty:) You know I was a wreck about having all these ram lambs but now that they are all hitting 2 months or hitting the one and half mark, I so pleased with how many are button scurred only and having that spotted/yuglet marked one with itsy bitsy scurs...well that just really makes me happy:) Yeah, with the lambs I am well over 40 sheep.....

You want input? I'll give you input! I'm JEALOUS over all your polled and button-scurred ram lambs! (And no, I don't think a flock over 30 is small. :-)

Sharrie,
Thank you for stopping by! This must be the year of the ram lamb:) Hopefully next year we will both get some ewe lambs!! I love the polled rams. I have just found their personalities much easier to work with...I may be going to the Michigan Fiber Festival which is closer to you LOL

Nancy,
Oh good, so you think he is mioget too!! I need to get a pic of his face because it is very striking!

Juliann,
I am so pleased that I went with you and Heather at Windswept for my foundation stock! I am working on all the in's and out's of Shetland terminology etc. and for my second big lambing season, I am pleased....almost done with that paper work too:)

That is a real nice looking group of young lads you have there. I wish you were closer because I think I am looking for a polled ram lamb this year. I had lots of boys this year, too.
