Saturday I went and met my new girl. She is pretty cute! We brought Breeja along for the ride and they loved her so we are going to trade. The NASSA has a really handy online database that I can look up a sheep's information on. I was able to look up my new baby's parents and she is very closely related to most of my girls. I didn't get any new pictures of her though....I was too busy cuddling with her. :rolleyes:

I also picked out a ram lamb from my friend. He is a moorit krunet gulmoget. This is a really bad picture of him.....

He also is related to most of the girls, but I'm ok with that for now.

Yesterday we went to church down in central VT (1 1/2 away) with some friends and then went to their house afterwards for lunch and a visit. We left the house before 8 am and didn't get home until about 10 pm. Just as we left our friend's, we got a message from our neighbor saying that our sheep were out. My brother-in-law came over and got all the ewes, lambs, and Monty the llama back in. No one was hurt, although one sheep did get herself stuck in the one section of electronet that was up. Stupid sheep. I think I owe James some cookies now.....

I got to visit my new ram lamb again today. I think he is much cuter than on Saturday!

I need a good name for him. I'm excited for lambs next year. Should be lots of color!

It's haircut season! Monty said that I could share these pictures if everyone promises not to laugh....I promise not to tell him if you do! :lol:

This is 3 years worth of fiber.

Lyd and I have been going through and shearing the show lambs and any of the yearlings that need it. And we are using hand shears, not electrics. So far I've sheared 2 Shetlands (1 left) and 1 yearling (2 left) and Lyd has done 1 yearling (2 left) and 4 lambs (3 left).

Hebe - she's not a little baby anymore!

Esther is my Shetland tamer. She spent a couple sessions cuddling with Freyja, who was one of the wilder Shetland babies....now look at her.
