I was actually thinking he looked like a Mulesey

Mulesley? Where'd you get that name? I've never herd it! Pretty cute though!

 

[purplequeenvt]

Or Hairy Larry?

He's not hairy, he's woolly!

Now I'm sure I've missed this...but do you guys sell your fiber? Or mill it? Process it? All that fiber......aaaaaah the possibilities!
I was looking at lamby's face and all I could think was Roman. Maybe because the word "Romney" was right above it...but still. He is a sweetie pie!

We haven't done anything with our wool in a number of years due to a huge family health crisis, but in the past (and hopefully sometime soon) we have had several things done with it. We have had it washed, turned into roving, spun, dyed locks (Border Leicester is popular with needle felters because of their curls), dyed yarn, felt that we cut into insoles for shoes, and blankets. The nicest fleeces my mom would keep back for herself or to sell to hand-spinners.

I'm leaning towards Ivan for this guy (starts with the same letter of his mom's name), but Roman is going on my list of names. That was actually my great-grandfather's name!

I can't resist taking new pictures of the babies. They can be so photogenic sometimes.

Baby #3 - I'm calling him Ivan for now

Baby curls

George thinks he's hot stuff

"Just like mom"

Hebe is pretty stinkin' cute.

It is dangerous to sit or kneel anywhere in this paddock....the Shetlands will get you!

Little Person came today and brought with him Henry the angora/dwarf mutt rabbit for a haircut. Henry had his cut out on the porch so that I could continue breathing today (I'm very allergic. Henry's mother was one of our angoras that we sold to a friend the babies came to stay with us for a few weeks and this one went home with LP.

Lyd had quite the audience.

Glad to hear Izzy finally lambed - got a girl here who is showing me up (10 days since I said she would lamb)

I love George's little smirk!

Newborn wool sheep always look like they're wearing terrycloth pajamas to me and it's just about the cutest thing ever.
