Oh my goodness! I just want to snuggle with those little sheep. Do you think they will sit in my lap?

Ummmm.....yes. They would most definitely sit in your lap.

The big fair is over. It went very well, the weather was great, the shows went smoothly, and we didn't have any major problems.

Little Eugene and his big ribbon

Eugene was by far the favorite sheep in the tent. Everybody, exhibitors and fair-goers alike, wanted to have him.

Fae and her big ribbon

Inna looking pretty for the judge.

The Shetlands were popular with the little people

I've fallen in love with Shetlands. Fae is my fav but they are all sweet looking, including that sister, how old is she?

That particular sister is 21 and not usually as sweet as she looks.

I can say that about some family too. The Shetlands are wonderful little animals. I went to visit a breeder today and though I didn't come home with any, they are a delightful sheep.

Darn, if I had a field of grass, I would have a couple of those sheep. Now those are sweet looking little animals. But really, the picture of the little guy with glasses...? That is just too cute for words.


Wish they made a mini hair sheep like that. But what would you do with them?

Good showing! Are you showing at Tunbridge? I went to Orleans Cty and saw the a dairy show, which I enjoyed, but they had very few beef cows other than some cool oxen teams. Hoping Tunbridge still has more heritage breeds.

No, we don't go to Tunbridge. We don't have the time to go to a lot of fairs, so we focus on the 2 local fairs.

You should get some! I never thought I would like them, but now that they are here, I absolutely love them! And they are very popular wherever I take them because they are so stinking cute and personable.
