Ready for a little nightcap?


Hope you don't mind some fuzz in your mouth!
Welcome back to Lil'Country Nightcap, an 8 1/2 year old smooth-polled moorit (or possibly mioget) Shetland ram – and a consummate gentleman. He was here three years ago, and sired Benny, Jet, Blaise, Bali Hai, and Barbados – not a solid brown lamb among them. I brought him home Friday and immediately put him in the Ram-ada Inn lot with Bree and Babette – who were horrified! (They've since gotten over that.)
I can get nothing BUT brown lambs from this breeding group, and I expect good things in fleece and structure, too.

Blaise is waiting this breeding season out.

That's the shepherd's news from . . .

What a match maker you are! I went to an alpaca fair over the weekend. Any thoughts on adding an alpaca or two to your farm?

He has a very amazing fleece! And what a nice Birthday your sweet Hubby gave you - The Shepherd turned 69 yesterday - went out to dinner with some friends tonight - my first outing in quite a while except to go to PT or the DR.! Have a great weekend and Happy Thanksgiving if I don't talk to you before then. T.
