Not sure if y'all are referring to my ewes and lambs or not :). But if you are....Thanks! I love sharing pics of my sheep. I was thinking today while I was watching two bottle babies jumping and running around that I was standing there smiling like an idiot.... Oh well, I guess it could be a lot worse. I hope you'll forgive me, but here's a couple more pics.

This is my ram. I always think of "Ramalambadingdong" when I think of him. He's a good boy and so far, I am liking the lambs he's throwing

In my lifetime we have had about 8 different sheep breeds running on the farms. We are located in Tennessee and the weather here gets hot, wet and windy. I have to say that Katahdins are by far the best breed for us. They are so easy to keep on good grass, are wonderful mothers, disease and parasite resistant, come in a variety of colors and are easy to manage. :D Have a friend that raises some nice black faced Dorpers & Kat/Dorper crosses. They grain their sheep but they are hefty buggers.

My favorite is American Black belly. Next to that is Katahdin.
I would post a pic but have no clue how.
