Loving the herd life
I have Finnsheep. Jumped in with both feet and bought a young ewe (Athena), young ram (Holstein), and six year old bred ewe (Kaarina). Kaarina should lamb any day. I'm ready with my camera when she does. She's big as a house and I can see bulges moving toward the business end. I'm a new farmer but choose Finnsheep because they have a prolific birthing history, are browsers, friendly, small, and wonderful fleece providers. So far I'm very happy with them. Athena is a crazy ewe who dances at breakfast and boinks around off all four feet. She's black and a joy to watch. Holstein has loose fleece about five inches long right now. He's a wooly bear and inquisitive. Smart as a whip too. Kaarina is pregnant and just wants to lamb.
