Whoa..their wool grows soo fast. Our ewes grow about 1/4-1/3" of wool per month. It looks like your Scottish Blackfaces get at least 2-3 times that much.

Wow! You have had a good lambing season! Jeez are they cute! Wish I had a few more acres :( I'd buy a couple of wethers in a heartbeat to go along with the two mini cheviots I'm getting soon.

Great pictures!
