Yep I was waitin' by and then a bunch of people came home...they were moving sheep for someone...... and then the next thing I know I missed the dang pictures!

Oh my oh my ...the wool is crazy long. When was the last time they were sheared? Very cool! That one, it really does look like a gorilla face. :/ Now the Jacobs on the other hand I wish I could see the one all the way in the back.

Kiko buck is niiiice!

Congrats on your new girls and guy!

Yes the Great Ape's name is Marge

I can take a better picture when the rain stops maybe. The one in the back is another mix of Romney and Jacob I guess. This guy was pretty darned clueless about his sheep. The breeder lady was the one who told me he had Romney's, not Lincoln. Kind of a bummer because I envisioned these beautiful locks for Santa's beards. Instead I got a felted gorilla Oh well, what could I expect for FREE? We'll get them shaped up in no time and ready for next year's fleece. It actually makes me feel proud of the way my current flock looks! Not so bad!

I think they will be pretty friendly once they warm up to me. They actually let me scratch their heads tonight without running away which is a very good sign! :bun

Oh yeah the wool, they probably were never shorn by this guy and he's had them about 3 years. Well, maybe 2 year's worth of wool at least. And wow, my jeans are now waterproof! I was out in the rain and I was pushing these sheep down the hill and their lanolin is ALL over my jeans. I am sure the jeans are waterproof now. Yep. And my hands were yellowy orange from all that lanolin! You would think that my hands would be velvety smooth, but nope, they're still farmer's hands!
