Virginia is for Pasture Farmers!
I wonder if it could be turned into insulation? I know wool is cleaned, fluffed and treated w/fire and pest retardants and cut into strips to fit into walls. Pretty cool stuff. I've been thinking of saving mine for buildings that don't have electricity in them.

The pictures are so nice and clear compared to my camera. I have a Kodak EasyShare and I don't like it. Let's see more pictures of your dogs! What are your thoughts on that breed of dog with sheep and chickens? Also with people/strangers? Yes, the pictures look professional.

Southdown, I love my dogs. They are great with the sheep and probably too friendly with people. I've not let them have any contact with my chickens, I wasn't willing to sacrifice any of them for the training process. The dogs are in with the sheep 24/7 and don't have access to the rest of the farm. I only have about 8-9 acres fenced for the sheep, the rest of the place (20 acres total) is slick and barbed wire. The dogs do a wonderful job, Sophie is the dorper colored one. She's more tractable and once I tell her no, I know that she will not do whatever it was when my back is turned. Penny, the solid color one) on the other hand is a rascal in that respect and will only obey when you are there. I've been warned that having two females together will result in all out war fights. They are a year and a half old and so far, that's not been the case. They will have spats, but nothing that I am not comfortable with at this point. They are great company for eachother and LOVE to play together.

More :). I swear, I am addicted to this camera! Went to a friends house today and will post some pics from there. I've also posted some pictures of his spotted/dappled boer goats on "Everything Else Goats" forum if you want to check them out. Theyre pretty cool. I even got some pics of sheep this time, I don't want to get booted to another forum so gotta keep it real ;) Haha!

My new registered ram lamb. I love his face but I've started thinking that they hit a nerve or something when they tagged him.

The only "for sure" ewe lamb that I am keeping from my first crop. She's a tank.

I emailed pics to a previous buyer today of this little ewe. If he decides he doesn't want her I'll keep her

Love your photos...and yeah...are those wild flowers??? So pretty!!!

Red mentioned Symphony should check your photos out because she is deciding on what kind of camera to get. I'm using a little Kodak one and it's fine for how little I use it...but love the results of your new camera...also your excellent photographer eye :)

More photos please...I see that your dorpers like to eat too! Our dorper/kat crosses will show more or less of one of the breeds and the more dorper ones keep their weight much better than those showing more kat.
