Virginia is for Pasture Farmers!
I like how the dog matches the sheep. :D
Does anyone who have shedding sheep ever pull the coat during a shed to save the wool? I pull fur off dogs at work in the Spring, some have a double coat and it comes out easy in clumps. Would be neat since you can have wool w/o shaving them.

RTG, it's a Nikon COOLPIX P150. I was shocked at the first pics I took with it so now I annoy everyone by taking pictures all of the time :).

Sec, I pull it off when they let me but I don't think it would be any good at all for fiber. It's very short and it gets pretty matty. Of course, I don't know the first thing about wool fiber :).

Thanks Bon :). Hope all is well with you!

OMG, y'all are really gonna regret encouraging me :).

EllieMay, thank you! I love these sheep. Just let me ask you this.....what the heck are they eating??

Our pastures are already fried..... I don't think they are going hungry though! All they get is a handful each of pellets in the morning and a handful at night. Even so, they hold their weight.. The one on the left is my new registered ram lamb. I gotta say that I was pretty skeptical when I was told they'd eat cedar and juniper, but they've limbed up all of it in the pasture as well as the flame leaf sumac.

Here is the last little ewe lamb I have to sell out of my first crop of lambs. I like her a LOT but have told the customer that purchased eleven others from me that he could have her. He'll have to pay for her though. If he doesn't want her at my price, I'm going to keep her. She's a twin.

Sec, here's what the wool/hair looks like when I scratch it off of them.

And a couple more of the dogs :)

The ones of the dogs were taken from about 50 feet away from them.

BTW, RedTail....who'se Symphony and why should they be reading this??

Great pics. Love the back-climbing shot.
I just got the same camera, but yours seems to work better than mine.
