I wanted colour and damn i got them :lovenow i officially know what love at first sight is. Still dont have a name for him yet but he is one out of a set of twins born bright amd early this morning :p i was thinking something based around two faces since both sides of his are so uniquely marked!

Maybe nickle and dime? Nah neither suits the other white one. But you kinda get the gist of my idea :weee on another note i suprised my dad by figuring out how to bond with momma :lol: all i did really was sit down next to her and the babies give her a bit of a scratch (to get her scent) and then pick up one of the babies ;) now since i smelled like baby (and herself)she lets me close without getting anxious and stomping in my direction! Easy enough lol. Here is a family portrait!ill get a photo of the other little one tomorrow ;)

Im happy i bought her. I plan on now trying to build up my sheep and breed the more sturdy ones to give us better meat producers and a higher yeild on butcher day but hopefully the same quality.

Ramesy is over a year and a half! Holy cow! He truly had grown even bigger in the past few months! Im proud to say he is just as friendly though, still follows me around even.

I used to compare him to other rams and find faults because he wasnt as big or didnt have as nice a head,but not anymore. Sure he may not be up to others standards but he has given me gorgeous, healthy, and sturdily built lambs! I couldnt ask for a better ram ( i mean i could but they would never replace ramsey he is my sweet baby boy still)
Sadly we are selling his daughter moxie since she has become somewhat pf an escape artist and we dont need the others learning that too. We have been told to get rid of her as soon as possible :( so her pictures are going online tonight.

I mean we dont need a whole herd of Houdini's :smack so getting rid of her may provide us with a bit of relief :idunno

Btw ;) as promised here is phantoms brother :love if you guys can think of another musical themed name that would be amazing :) depending on how he fills out im probably selling him as a breeder

Both him and phantom are doing well with momma. This one seems a bit slow when it comes to moms cues though he doesnt always follow right away. Ive checked his vision and hearing and both are a-ok no issues with either at least as far as i can tell. So who knows maybe he is stubborn :idunno
I have to say my favorite part of him is his ears :love just the full black on the inside is adorable :weee
Hey @Bruce and @Baymule got any names for him?

I love his black lined ears too!

Pavarotti (Opera singer) This would be a good name if you want both names to start with P. Pavarotti is my husband's favorite.

Don Carlo (opera) I really like Don Carlo, he just looks regal.
