Yesterday I took a mental health break and worked with the lambs. All four got haltered, lead, tied, and pedicured; even Barbados, who was sure the contraption I put on his head for the first time was lethal.
Oh, such drama! (Notice the slack leadline in most of the photos.) I told him that gentlemen and ladies must learn to walk nicely on a halter and lead. No response. I told him he'd better get over it and stand nicely for the camera if he ever wanted the chance to go play Casanova with some pretty Shetland ladies. "
Girls?"
Yep, that did the trick.
Boys.
Boulderneigh Barbados (
S39387), a crimpy moorit katmoget, polled twin ram lamb out of fine-fleeced stock, is ready to report for duty. He can be delivered to OFFF, or catch a ride to points east with Garrett Ramsay at the end of September.
I'll share photos of the girls tomorrow.
That's it for now from . . .

These are HYSTERICAL!!!
The last few posts about your lambs is very entertaining; it's nice that Brian is helping out a bit with walking the lambs. It must take a lot of patience and work to raise these fine friends.
Ha! Oh the drama indeed! He is such a sweetie tho...
Yes, Sara, halter-training lambs is pretty hilarious if one is not in a hurry! And they learn quickly, Nancy Kay; sheep are smarter than most people think. Hopefully I can find that sweetie a new home, Maureen!
I am attempting to halter train ewe lambs for the WSWF and you'd think I was trying to kill them the way they carry on about it. One of the girls is a flopper, one is a high jumper and one launches herself straight at your head when you are leaning over!!! Telling them how silly they are being doesn't seem to faze them a bit. sigh
