these are a small wool breed. I have about 85 ewes and maybe 20 wethers and rams and about 50 lambs right now.

It is a bit wild because this year due to the very bad drought we are having here, over 12 mom's dumped lambs on me and it has been wild bottle feeding that many.

I've had them since 2000. I cannot figure out why I love them so much, they really do not care about me unless I am bringing them hay or milk. But I love them anyway.

I love talking about them too.
