Windy November Walk in the sheep pasture

Betty Lou, BFL/Corriedale cross ewe, she was born in March of 2009.  She has a very nice coat.  She also was a fast grower with a square body.


Liam, a new BFL ram lamb that we purchased from Jennifer Fitzwater at Cameron Mo.
He is out of a Beechtree ewe and a Bitterroot ram.  His papers are very interesting.   I find myself calling him Limey.  He is warming up to me.  I love his wool.


This is Daisy's ewe lamb.  Her sire is White Knight.  She loves to have her head scratched. 


Limey's wool, very fine.


Birdie, a daughter of Oxford ewe, Bonnie and White Knight.  Gerty and Birdie are big twin girls with lovely wool.  Gerty's wool is white and Birdie has a brownish cast.  Gerty is a pet and Birdie is not but she sings like a bird all of the time.



Tell the girls that it is supper time and they start coming from every hill and valley on the Spinning C.

Teddy is the most laid back sheep on the place.  I blogged about him and you can read about Ted in my older blogs.  I love his wool.  New fences have kept Teddy contained and the wool has stayed nicer so far...but it isn't shearing time yet!

Lady and Sadie on duty.

White Knight is in so much trouble...I had the tractor in the lot by the barn when cleaning out the barn and barn lot...I turn my back and see the black streaks on his side...he decided the tractor was a good place to rub.  How will I ever get that black grease out of his wool?????  I love his wool, it has a very soft and silky handle.

Limey, he thinks he is a ram but still needs a few more months.


This ewe is so sweet, she has wonderful wool and she is Cuddles....
I can't help myself,  I think about sheep all the time....when I am not thinking about sheep, I am thinking about their fiber.
