Where are you in NW Michigan? Are you in the UP or main Michigan?

They are beauties, but I'm in the Green Bay area.

Never thought I wanted sheep until I saw this breed and I love fiber!

I live in the Northwest part of the Lower peninsula...lower Michigan is shaped like a hand....if you take your left hand (palm side down) and hold it like a map...I live just below the fingernail of the ring finger.... People in lower Michigan use this alot to show other Michiganians where they live without the help of an atlas or map. Like "Hooked on Phonics"...it works for us. If this will help....to you and any others? There is a farm in Wisconsin called Littledale farm (Bed and Breakfast)....the city..I don't remember...they do have a website.... I believe they still may have Scottish Blackface to sell as well. Graham and Marguret (sp?) are the owners names.....VERY nice people.
