Her fleece will turn grey. Her color is moorit, but she has the greying gene too. You can tell by her grey lips. She's a cutie! My Inna looks almost identical.
Just brought my Shetland ewe lamb home!

She's adorable! The new dog toy
I've been treating my sheep for lice with Permectrin. You can get it at Southern States of Tractor Supply. If she has them, you can give her two treatments 14 days apart. I guess it's most effective when you shear them, but I haven't sheared my sheep yet. They've had 2 treatments, but I've yet to tell how well it's working. I think it can take up to 8 weeks to kill the whole life cycle of the lice. You just apply it to their back, it's pretty easy. Good luck!
