I have named her rose, and where yes she is skittish, she is still highly curious of me and allowed me to pick her up without fuss, and even let me poke around her wool a bit when I got her home. Still no sign lice or mites, YES!!

She is in her little quarantine pen until I know for a fact shes safe, though our set up is not ideal...
Were moving things around still to try and make room. God we need a barn :barnie

Underneath the lamb wool her pelt is turning a GORGEOUS silver grey color, so were hoping that she will become a silver :D

Shes a little bit upset about being by herself, but the barn cat quickly took care of letting her know shes not alone. Spooked the day lights out of her until she realized the cat was rustling the hay.
Her little hooves look great, her mouth is all clear, and her ears have no gunk in them :D
I think shes adorable, even if shes just for the LGD puppys, (explanation here, http://www.backyardherds.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=24186 just read it, its silly, but it makes my family happy)
So, what do you guys think :D

Ohhhh, she is pretty! So guess your a sheeple now! :p

Careful she doesn't trample the pups, sheep seem to be so much more nervous with the dogs than the goats are.

I love her face!

What is her name????

Hehe yup! i have goats and sheep now XD My family thinks im nuts!
Were going to see how she acts with the pups since she was born around Great Pyrenees LDG's, and if she reacts badly, then we will just let her stay where she is. But if shes good then we will house the pups with her at night and then let them out int he morning so my family can rest easily without constantly asking me if the puppys are ok. :lol:
Oh geeze I didnt even put her name, I have decided to name her Rose :D
