I just got this from a horsey friend. She is the one who called to confirm, so this is definitely NOT a hoax. Might be wise to pass this along to other horsey...
Somebody ran amuck with spotted genes! Not sure I want to go too far in this direction! Black with faery kisses of various shapes is OK by me - and I have 3 of...
... They're a bit loud for my taste too but they'd be cool for creating a painted line of miniature Cheviots. Eddie, are you reading this? How would that work...
Enumclaw is near me. I could bring a ewe out <G>.... Margot Grim Grim's Faerytale Farm Woodinville, WA To: minicheviotsheepconnection@yahoogroups.com From:...
I'm betting she did a LOT of line breeding to create them. Usually that results in a smaller animal. Has anyone emailed or called her? -rebecca ... far in ...
I'm sending this via the list in case others wonder about this as well. Eddie, do you want us to register wethers? Some of the other sheep registries...
It's really whatever you decide. Like registered dogs or cats, even the pet wether can benefit from registered status. It helps to build value in the animal,...
... <<LOL>> Sorry 'bout that! See, at one time I wanted to raise Welsh Cobs (and I would have given them Gaelic names, so started a list) but through a tragic...
If there is anyone else out there (besides me) who still keeps hard copy records, these are free downloads for Boer goat breeders that adapt very, very nicely...
While I'm posting about stuff from that (very excellent) Web site, I'd like to remind the goat people among us (and also sheepy people who enjoy a good laugh)...
This one is a good introduction to Nanny Berries (those of us with bottle lambs will appreciate it too, although no lamb on earth screeches like a Boer bottle...
I should probably send this to Eddie, but maybe others will have input. I went to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival Saturday. Since I am in the Breeds Barn...
Lately I have been using Biblical names, and this year it is easier, since I had 5 rams and 3 ewes! But I have 1 line that I call my bread line - it started...
... Toni, My understanding is not that there was research that confirmed that Brecknock Hill sheep were never imported to the US, but simply that, so far, no...
Hi All, First, YES to everything Margot said. She pretty much nailed it. From all the current literature I've seen, the U.K. rams are polled, some with...
I favor playing on words like: Heddy Lamar Wooly Nelson Lammy Wynette bRam Stoker Fleece-a Simpson Lewis Black (black ram lamb) But, we also have had kooky...
I've done the run-of-the mill thing with mine. My first ones that I didn't get from Sue have "little old lady" names : Ruthie, Mabel, Faith, etc. The ones from...
I am so creative (yeah right...I have a white cat named Snowball of all things!) that I did the alphabet for my lambs: Aiden, Brian, Cayden, Darra, Eirwin,...
"I" will be much harder. Maybe Isolde for a ewe lamb or Iain for a ram? I love the name Iain (pronounced ee-AY-in); I rarely use the same name twice but have...
Hi all. BTW Toni (and anyone) if you come to the MD show, by all means let me know. I go both weekend days of the show (and even some of the preceding days)...
Among other things they are looking for productivity and usefulness, so we need to show some of that. Perhaps: disease resistance, how our wool is better - or...
