Five of them are pure breed Katahdins.
And then this is my girl

She is a barbedos black belly and a katahdin cross. Her previous owner named her saraphina but I'm slightly tempted to change it, no offense to the previous owner... should I? And if so any ideas as to what I should call her?

This morning I went out to check on the sheep and to let them out and the first sight I was met with..... a panicked sara with a bucket stuck on her face..... now how she managed that is beyond me... the bucket has been removed and taken out of the pen so she can't to diy again *sigh* poor sheep....

It happens LOL. I am glad all is well. My buckling last summer got his head stuck in a pallet.... how, I have no idea. We had to cut him out of it. :idunno They really do everything they can to scare the bageezes out of us.

Congrats on the new sheep! What a beautiful starter herd you have!

I had to hold her head while trying to figure out how she had gotten so stuck... her head was wedged in this thing and I was scared I was gonna hurt her ... don't know what was inside that she wanted that badly :hu but after a minute of trying I got it loose and free'd her ... my friend are all laughing St me saying of course it happened to your sheep of all the sheep there lol.... :lol:

Oooo they are Nice!! Of course ya can rename her, and from that 1pic, I'd name her 2-Spot...she has 2 bigger black spots on her side...shoulder and just before her leg. My goats have gotten them on their heads, but my older doe had it the worst. I still use buckets, but I remove all handles before they get in the pen...:)

The thing is it didn't even have a handle on it.... her face literally was wedged in the lip of the bucket wish it had just been the handle.... :hu
