      It's A Boy!

      And a girl, and a boy . . . and a boy . . . I lost count.

      It'll be white with a black face.

      Are all the lambs you have born all mottled like that?

      Most are born completely black and then make the transition to black face, it's pretty cool.

      For a second I was afraid you might be one of my bosses (in real life).

      That's a cutie lamb. They look like our sheep. What breed are they?

      We're still bottle feeding two lambs, though cutting back.(one was born to a sheep ewe that doesn't produce milk, and the other was one of triplets, and we bottle fed it to give her a break so she only had two to feed.)

      That Bible verse 'My sheep know my voice' has come alive to me through bottle feeding the lambs. If they hear me down by the barn, they start to baa and make a fuss cause they know my voice and think it's time to be fed.

      justified in the Spirit,
      seen by angels,
      preached among the nations,
      believed on in the world,
      taken up in glory."

      Sheep are a lot of fun, the breed I raise at the moment are Suffolks.

      I think we have a few pure pred like that, and the rest are mixed. We have less than a dozen sheep-lambs, though. Just hobby farm.

      Here's a link that has lots of links to do with sheep/ wool, etc.

      Wow, that's a cool site.

      A couple years back we had about forty total, but it was just too much for our pasture, we have it cut back to about twenty this year.
