The little girls are growling and blustering and trying to establish a pecking order, but I do think that the cold temps that we are expecting Tuesday will make them become best buddies and cuddle together in that little dog house. (The all white girl has won the dominance show today, btw.) Once the sheep are here, they will be living full time with them.
Names will come later. I am open to suggestions!
Hi Debbie! We met at Suzanne's Chickens in the Road Retreat! We were in the same bunk house - for the daytime anyway lol! Nice to see you blogging. Love the puppies. I would love to try some fiber animals some day. Looking forward to hearing about your new sheep and farm life in general.
ReplyDeleteOf course I remember you! That was such a fun experience, wasn't it? Our sheep are hair sheep. Maybe I'll try wool sheep one day, but just starting out, I don't want to worry with shearing. Besides, I tried my hand at spinning at the retreat. Ugh!!! I still have that blob of wool stuck to the spindle. Stressful!!!! I'll pay good money for already-spun yarn and get right to the knitting. :-)
DeleteMy suggestions are Sharlotte & Sheila. They are so precious. I have always wanted a Anatolian/Pyr mix!

Lucy & Ethel!
I keep moving that blob of wool and spindle trying to figure out where to keep it! So funny - it was fun trying and sometimes I think maybe with more time I might have figured it out. Maybe? But you're right, I'll buy my yarn for now. So, what do you do with "hair" sheep???
ReplyDeleteYou sell them at the market or to other small flock owners for breeding. We'll be keeping our best ewe lambs to grow our flock and will sell the ram lambs.
DeleteAs for spinning, I tried my hand with a wheel, too, and was so frustrated and tense just trying to get the wheel spinning the right way! Definitely not for me. :-(
