I spent all last Monday getting my breeders arranged - Isaac and 2 ewes in the horse pasture and Brian and 2 ewes in the dry lot. All went well. Wednesday I...
We've gotten true black, dilute black, and white from our black sheep. Also, most of our older sheep have fairy kisses but this year we got quite a few lambs...
The same for me, too. It's always fun to see what combination we will get from our ewes. It is always so cute to see one black lamb and one white lamb from...
Kat, It's never ignorant to ask questions. :) A fairy kiss is a black lamb with bits of white on it's forehead. If you look in the photo section under Misty...
Yahoo must be snowed in too, lol. My sheepies are NOT happy campers. Friday the snow was over the backs of my little boys when they came out of their shelter....
Glad it's you and not me. LOL It has been cold here, in the 23-25 degree range a couple of mornings this week but since it's so dry here there isn't even any...
Morrigan should do at least twin black lambs for you. She's Baasha's daughter (Baasha had trips almost every year while she was young) and Rebaa's full sister...

I have my fingers crossed. Both of them were in with Ramstein with 7 other black ewes. He bred one white ewe last year and she produced the smallest black...
Dilute or true black is how the color is expressed. Brian and Darra are both dilutes. A true black stays black from the root to the end of the wool. This is...
That's exactly how I lost my black ewe lamb from my set of black twins. I knew there was something going on after the first was born but DH was out in the jug...
Hey Lori, tell your shearer he can have her fleece if he comes and gets it off of her. LOL I got the name of a local shearer and am thinking seriously of...
Somehow I knew what faery kisses were, too -- but I don't remember where I first heard them called that... I love the Robert Graves poem! I've been steeped in...
