She is a Rideau Arcott and we named her "Holly". She is only 2 months old, but will be ready to breed in 6. SOOO, I'm one sheep closer to having a dairy. I'm going out to take her photo for you guys.

Notice Sam is in her official sheep outfit. ;)

I also have my ram in a sheep tractor now. It has worked out very well. In the last four days he got moved 4 times...just by me. Easy Peasy! I'll post pics of that next. I finally feel like I have my "sheep operation" under control now.

I have a tarp that goes on top when it rains. I use bungie cords to hold it in place.

The other sheep are free range at the moment.

Typical of her. I can't keep shoes on that child. She has an unbrella somewhere in that chair and who knows what else. (She loves to read outside.)


eta: see, always no shoes!
