How about Silver Fox! Gorgeous babes! Mine always seem to fade as they grow up, do yours? Perhaps it's the 'mile high' ultra violet fading. Silkies, how is the lambs tail doing? Still waiting to hear.

Well, here's my whine. Saturday, one of my ewes that is supposed to be due early March, showed up at the feeder with some (I believed) definite hollows at her hips. Since a blizzard was due in the middle of the night, I decided to put her in a jug with a heat lamp. You can probably guess...

How totally cool!!! I've seen so many Katahdins, in so many variations of white, brown, cocoa, and red, but I have never seen black! I've seen Katahdin/Dorper crosses that have a lot, but never a pure Katahdin. A pure black Katahdin would be so cool!!!

The way I understand it, copper toxicity is a complex beast! 1st answer. The signs are; Lethargy, anemia, wool or hair loss, excessive thirst, sometimes bloody colored urine, stringy wool, washed out color in the wool (maybe). 2nd answer. It's tough to say if they got too much, since...

Hey Wallabyofchaos, first of all, welcome! Second, I have to ask, just how big are those Painted Desert sheep? There is a fella a couple of hundred miles from here that has some young rams for sale. I'm looking for good carcass size and meat quality, not necessarily horns. I haven't been...

I'm still waitin' to see some babies!

I never dock tails on my hair sheep either. I don't see any reason to put them through the stress. They can keep their tails clean naturally, unlike woolys who can get a buildup of, uh, ca-ca (?) and invite maggots. So SilkiesForEver, could you have a little Katahdin blood mixed in your...

Beautiful! I really like the lamb house! You are much more skilled at building than I, but do they really sit at the table?

A ton of classes? Sounds heavy! Where?

OOOOOH, pretty sheep!!! Those are some interestingly colored Katahdins, Alienchic. Would that be from some of your Alien influence, perhaps? Very pretty. One of these days, I will either post from my main computer that has all my stored photos, or get new batteries for my camera, so I can...

Is anyone besides me going to be lambing this spring (March-May)?

Babydolls!? "Not I" quoth the Scotsman! I love my hair sheep. They are a little smaller than most meat or wool breeds, especially Suffolk and Hampshires, but that's O.K. with me. Easier to handle. All the shearing I have to do each year is my guard llama, but he's enough! He's the "thou...

O.K., If I were you, I'd be using Tartans photo for my avatar! THAT is a one-in-a-million picture!

That's too bad, I was going to use my old joke, "Boy, have I got a ram for ewe!" (my wife hates that one.)

I have yet to build a stanchion. The 'try out' we did, my wife just occupied her withsome alfalfa pellets while I hand milked her, one teat at a time, into a jar. It was just an experiment, but I couldn't believe the results! She was so good! The lamb was in there wondering what I was doing...

Do you need a good ram?

O.K., I'm in love!!! I've been staring at those lambing photos all morning! I can tell by the green grass that you obviously are no where near me, so I won't even ask if I could buy any. No one in my area has any for sale now. I've been raising Katahdin mix hair sheep for some years, but...
