Hi All, I have a question. I have ewes from two different breeders -- and they seem to be rather different phenotypes. One ewe is tiny, one is medium sized,...

Congratulations on your new lamb! I have had a few of those "surprise" lambs in the past. One year I looked out the arcadia door and on the back porch stood...
Hi Friends, I'm sending this to just about everyone i know who has small animals and may feel as vehemently opposed to the current mandatory Animal...

I am so delighted to hook up with other Cheviot breeders! I have a flock of about 25 sheep - BH Cheviots, Shetlands, and crossbreds. I started crossbreeding...
Here I am my first day getting my feet really wet - jumping right in. Margot - I have different noses, too. I can always tell my foundation flock ewes by their...
Thanks for invite, Marlo. I appreciate it. I am in Central Missouri and patiently (or not!) waiting for my lambs to arrive. We are due RIGHT NOW! I look...
Haven't posted for quite some time but just thought I would let you know that I found some mini cheviot sheep in Ontario in fall and my friend and I bought two...
How did you get them into the US? I am also on the Shetland Yahoo site and the idea I get there is that you cannot bring them here. Also, where in Canda -...
Too funny. I just joined, went to the Web site, read the first few lines of this post and thought, "COOL! There's someone in central Missouri with miniature...
Well, my thought(which is a miracle in itself) was it's time to start communicating so we can start promoting these sheep. Thanks to Toni for the jumpstart! ...
It's such a small world...I had been talking to Toni about a ram. ... From: Marlo Schuh To: minicheviotsheepconnection@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, February...
It is a small world when it comes to these miniature cheviots. Bobbie Milsom had the vision of starting this group a while back and now that Eddie has put...
I guess I wasn't clear on my last post. I live in Manitoba, Canada and I got my first sheep from Alberta a number of years ago but did not have a ram and have...
It IS a small world with these great little sheep. There really aren't that many of us involved--which is a shame because IMO they're the best possible small...
Re: [minicheviotsheepconnection] Re: Hi all...Of course they are the best! LOL I have had so many people contact me saying they had never heard of them...
This brings to mind a topic I'd love to discuss, namely, how many bloodlines ARE there in this breed and who's breeding which ones? This is important to me...
Oops! I should've re-read before posting. This should read: Despite this, I can very honestly say I have not had a single problem with bad mouths, low libido,...
I SHOULD have re-read...lots of typos in that post. Sorry. I'm on my supper break and rushing but I still should've taken time to proof that post. :o( Sue...
I've been wondering about bloodlines as well. How do we get an extended pedigree for our sheep? I should ask Eddie that question, but please chime in with your...

Hi Margot, Eddie sent me extended pedigrees of my sheep when I had them registered, so I know she does that sort of work. I was so pleased to find our old...
Hi, In the NW it is mild generally, and since I only have five sheep and can have them in the barn for the first few days post-shearing, they were shorn before...

One little ewe lamb I couldn't be prouder of -- and more due any time now! I'm even more delighted with that little lamb than I'd ever imagined! Margot Grim ...

... We dock our lambs' tails, but long...just at the end of the tail web when viewed from underneath. And we do it when they're one day old and honestly don't...
The first ones is always the BEST. :o) Our first lamb was born on my husband's birthday and he found her. We'd purchased our ewes bred and we knew Baasha would...
I'm not sure how many of our ewes settled but all were exposed. Ewephemia, our white ewe, was bred to Woolson and everyone else to Abram. If they all settled,...
Hi everyone. I got the invitation from Marlo to join this group, and I did so quite happily. Just so you all know, I don't spend a lot of time on the message...
WOOLIAM?!?!? Oh my goodness -- that's the greatest ram name I've ever heard! I love the name Baasha, too. When I found little Celia Celeste I was amazed. I...
