Scottish Blackface

Whoa..their wool grows soo fast. Our ewes grow about 1/4-1/3" of wool per month. It looks like your Scottish Blackfaces get at least 2-3 times that much.

Wow, those Sheep take me back to medevil times. They are gorgeous and I bet spinners love them.
 
Last lamb of the season was born a couple of weeks ago......finally finished for the year....40 lambs from 26 ewes.....not too bad...hope everyone else is having a great Spring.....got all of my Dahlias planted and had 16 Pyncheon chicks hatch as well. Best to all, Rusty
 
Wow! You have had a good lambing season! Jeez are they cute! Wish I had a few more acres :( I'd buy a couple of wethers in a heartbeat to go along with the two mini cheviots I'm getting soon.

Great pictures!
