I am working on an Ohio to Washington State to Ohio trip. I have space. I have an Ohio to Wynnewood, Oklahoma to Canajoharie, New York trip. Space is...
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...
Hokay - Since I learned that some Cheviots are black I also learned about Faery Kisses - but what is dilute black, and Lori, what are Darra and Brian? BTW...
<<LOL>> That's what Lori and I call white facial spots on black-faced sheep! We call Miniature Cheviotsfairy sheep, based on Robert Grave's poem, "I'd Love to...
Black dilute is a black sheep with some white on its body. It varies from a small amount of white, like one of my sheep that had white butt cheeks to all over...
Ha Ha! You still have the "factory"! That makes me smile! And a cuter factory there's never been... Speaking of the factory -- I'm so excited about the...

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...

I don't know when my sheepies will arrive yet -- I guess I have to visit the website for updates. FCT is scheduled to leave Idaho on December 4th (hey, that's...

Hopefully the hauler wants to be home by Christmas which should get them to you before! Did you get lots of snow? I really feel for all you folks that have...
Margot, Lori sent me the company's schedule and it says they'll be here on the 11th. That'll be good, as John is leaving for Indiana on the 21st and I'll need...
Our dilutes have shades of gray in some areas of their fleeces but no true white spots except their fairy kisses. A few are almost silver-colored throughout...
I did that once too, Margot. I watched Baasha deliver Raven and waited about 20 minutes while she cleaned her baby before rushing in to post about it to the...
Oooooh! That would be the best Christmas ever! We did get snow -- only a couple day's worth, but it foze hard and quickly, causing amazing chaos! I couldn't...

I found a site on Mini Cheviots one day and well Cheviots had been one of my favorite breds when I had sheep years ago. I am now looking for small sheep to...
