 | Soft Wool | The texture of a soft sheepskin rug. |
|  | Katahdin Lamb Ram and Speckle | Speckle, on the right, is what you might think of as a regular sheep, she is a mature wool breed ewe, the younger ram, on the left, is a hair sheep, a breed known as a Katahdin. Hopefully we will have some lambs in the spring. Sheep have a five month gestation period, and we got him in October. You do the math. |
|  | Bottle Baby Lamb 10 Months Old | She was born on a winter day and her mom just walked away. If she was not found when she was, she would have frozen to death, she was still wet, and only minutes old in this first picture of her http://www.picable.com/Nature/Animals/Bottle-Feeding.449947 taken in January 2009. |

|  | Sheep Shed | Actually a shedding sheep! Patsy is the combination of a Jacob wool sheep crossed with a Barbado hair sheep. She is black, brown, and white, and at one year of age, she is shedding, and looks pretty messy. The advantage of hair sheep is that they do not need shearing, which is a lot of work. Patsy has five horns. |
|  | A Few Good Sheep | All our sheep are good, but this is just a few of them from fall of 2008. No, no, no, we don't eat them. They are pets and for pasture control. It is a good thing too, this spring there have been grass fires so keeping tall grass down is important. |
