Love the Bug offspring and hoping that I get the same spectacular results next year, as you've obviously gotten this year.
Love your fleece! And, your sheep.

Will be posting a photo of Bug's daughter out of a Blues daughter hopefully next week. She is very black so it might be hard to get the fleece shot...we shall see. Our camera tends to freak out when taking photos of black Shetlands.

Bailleys is doing fine. He is in a pen that is a section of the ram pasture. There is some butting going on, but they are rams. Beautiful rams lambs!

Michelle said...

Yes, all very drool-worthy!

Theresa said...

Nice fleeces on those boys, Karen!

Becky Utecht said...

Very nice assortment of rams and fleeces. Thanks for including all the photos of Hansel and his micron results, my girls are patiently waiting for him.

Gorgeous rams! Becky, you are very lucky! :)

I love the bug offspring too. Their histos are identical!

Nice to know that my lines crossed well with yours.

Oops...they really aren't exactly the same. Corrected Waterbug's micron test results. Bug was just what Lady Grey needed for fleece. We shall see how the next generation fares.
