Chillin' with the herd
Oops, I guess I should clarify! They're not related 
We only called her Mama cause we were told that she was pregnant when we got her (she wasn't *pouts*)
We were calling them Thelma (now Mama) and Louise (now Dolly) because when we bought them, they stuck together, but I think that was just their fear/herd instinct, because now that they're all settled in, they don't really give a rats hiney about each other
I don't know if you can tell in the pictures, but the 3rd sheep that I didn't ask about, is my ram. He's just over a year old (he was my bottle baby, turned one in June) and he's about the same size as Mama. Dolly is quite a bit smaller than both of them..
If I can find some, I'll upload a few pictures of them after they got their beauty treatment... Dolly has a VERY muscular rear end and Mama seems to have a better wool quality. Mama's wool is softer and shorter, while Dolly's was longer and the "curls" were more seperated than Larry's (my ram) and Mama's.
Oh and Mama is MUCH more vocal than Dolly, with a deep long Baaaaa... Dolly's baaa is more of a mumble. Dolly definitely does the verticle hop thing, I about peed myself laughing when I saw her "hopping" through the pasture like a deer!
