I looked it up @greybeard, must not have been much of a show, only lasted 1 season. Jack Lord did a lot better in Hawaii Five-O ... 12 years. Book 'em Danno.

Stony Burke was a rodeo cowboy and so handsome!

Wow, I never realized you could speak Hawaiian.....
The Stoney Burke plots were more often than not, just plain hokey. Being called 'Stoney Burke' quickly became synonymous around here for 'drugstore cowboy' even while the series was still running. Jack Lord and his character couldn't make a pimple on Casey Tibbs butt and the only ones in real life in my part of the world that seemed to admire 'Stoney' was the buckle bunnies of the day..

Hence why we are NOT going with cowboy names! Lol. Too many bad rodeo stories, and besides it'll just encourage this kid to stay in the country (guess that wouldn't be so bad).
All I have is this bad cell phone pic of my new goat in the sheep flock and the lovely grass we have, as usual.
Most of my flock will be going to auction this winter as culls, and I'll use the money to buy some new ewes of a hardier, less productive meat breed to cross into a few of my nicer dairy ewes. Looking at Gulf Coast Natives. Can't bear to get back into hair sheep, yet.

Your grass is gorgeous. Your sheep are beautiful and look so happy in all that grass! Cute goat. So why can you not bear to get hair sheep? Because everyone calls them goats? 
OK... why only one new goat and why are you upset about hair sheep? I'm feeling a might confused... like that I might have missed something important here... ![:\](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/side.png "side :\")

Nothing important, I just got out of hair sheep on purpose a few years back and regret it daily! But I am too stubborn to get back in! Also my neighbor is a shearer and likes the extra work, believe it or not. And someday I'd like to learn how to shear properly (of course, not in my current condition). I also just want something a little bit different, and there are not a lot of "rare" hair sheep breeds, at least that I have found.
But yeah, I hate that everyone calls my hair sheep goats!!! Not sure me getting a goat will help
Taking her was actually a favor for a friend/neighbor who I work for. They have too many pet goats, so I took this one off their hands because she is a pain in their operation. Too standoffish. They have her triplets and two wethers, and I'll be getting one of the triplets for company for my momma goat when she dries up.

OK... yaknow, you ARE in the same general area as @farmerjan and she raises a sort of Dall sheep (or some such) with the big rounded ram horns that hunters drool over. Now I wouldn't exactly consider that your ordinary, everyday, domesticated ho-hum sheep... Perhaps you could discuss getting a few of her ewe lambs for grow out? I believe they are hair sheep, very meaty and good for eating (I've tasted wild mutton before and it was VERY tasty). If you raise them with lots of personal contact, they might even become friendly...

Hm, but these are white too if I remember, and I really need some color in the flock! And don't they all have horns? We're hoping for no horns, but if the rams have horns that might be okay just as long as the ewes are polled. Preferably also something that is not too wild, I've never heard of the Dalls being tamed. I know, I know, sounds like Katahdins are the way to go for us, and I might go back that directions someday.

Hope you had a good Thanksgivings and all is well with you and yours.
