I would ask Gail Former about it since she's been doing the Flock Book. I know that most of the time, breeder's have no problem with you giving them their actual names, but the prefix breeder farm name has a lot to do with the Registry and Flock Books.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933105773412843275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-75896064206979237882007-06-24T13:04:00.000-07:002007-06-24T13:04:00.000-07:00It was great to see you, too, Franna!

I am very thankful for my Shetland friends and this blog, where I can chatter away about my new little lambies (and ALL my sheepies) without exhausting my DH's patience on the subject. I watched "The Freedom Writers" last night for the first time, so I'm keeping in mind how much she talked about "her" kids!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-18717707188964132392007-06-24T11:24:00.000-07:002007-06-24T11:24:00.000-07:00Michelle, it was great to see you at BSG and glad ...Michelle, it was great to see you at BSG and glad to hear you and the lambs made it home fine and dandy. I thought about stopping on our way home, but once we were in the truck it was pointed HOME. Well, with one stop at the mill south of Corvalis - wow! 50# bags of alfalfa pellets for $6 and no tax! <BR/>Looking forward to growing up pictures of the Valiant lambs.<BR/>-FrannaFrannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251158925458606105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-46032982027576925932007-06-24T06:51:00.000-07:002007-06-24T06:51:00.000-07:00Very pretty babies!

I'd like to hear what others think his color is. He could be musket, of course, but he looks a little different for a musket... something about the overtones in his fleece. What are his parents, color wise? Have fun with your newly expanded flock! :-)Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131066591477169851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-75080735133418449702007-06-24T06:17:00.000-07:002007-06-24T06:17:00.000-07:00Hi Michelle, Glad you hear your new sheep made t...Hi Michelle,<BR/><BR/> Glad you hear your new sheep made the trip okay, and I'm elated to have yet another breeder working with polled genetics!

Fiona and Darby inherited that, too. It's so neat we have sheep from the same breeder. They could be cousins so should definitely keep in touch.<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on your new additions!

Yahoo - and good for Gabriel - one of our friends has one of her little black ewes from last year and she's a pretty one. <BR/><BR/>You are a better woman than I that you were able to get through ALL THOSE VENDORS and not buy anything! I am impressed - there is always something that catches my eye - a new pair of sheeply earrings or some of that wonderful Oregon Fogwash soap. <BR/><BR/>Glad you had a great time - thanks for the news, too. Enjoy your new babies :-) And Kathy - Definately next year!

I'm sure I COULD register them with the Valiant prefix, but instead I'm picking names that nod to the meaning of "Valiant" - Braveheart and Brava.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-58090728739698027292007-06-22T21:36:00.000-07:002007-06-22T21:36:00.000-07:00Glad you made it!

Niche even though Kim said I could give them names)<BR/><BR/>I wish I had been there to take in everything.
