It's *really* hard to tell from those pics. The second one looks like it may be a Shetland mix perhaps? And the white one could possibly be some sort of hair breed, maybe Katahdin or mix?

The first one I think is a Katahdin, White Dorper, or St. Croix. It definitely looks like some sort of hair sheep. The black lamb though looks like an Icelandic or a Shetland. I was also thinking Finnsheep or Romanov (Icelandic, Shetland, Finnsheep, and Romanov are all closely related breeds--they are also known as "rat tail" breeds and do not need to be docked), but I don't know if that's what it is.
