The It-Boys

Five woolly wethers standing in a row.
Think sheep are always white? Nay; not so!

I know none of you think that, but it is amazing how many people DO think all sheep are white – "Baa baa black sheep" notwithstanding.

Notice that all the colored boys have white spots on the bridge of their noses. It is a common trait in my flock; I have no idea why.

That's it for now from . . .

Someone had that white nose gene :-)

More than one "someone," because two completely unrelated lines are represented in those wethers!

That's interesting about the white on the noses. Most of my Kinders have a little "go-tee." The black goats have white ones and the white goats have black ones. And they aren't all related!

They're beautiful in all their colours!
