The best part about shearing your own sheep?

No one can stop you from giving your wether a sick mullet.

Let’s get a sheep name thread going.

I’ll go first with a few of mine, and some random factoids about them.

The first picture is Paca and her daughter Cria. Paca’s mother Llama was my first Finn ewe over 15 years ago who we bought from a llama farm.

The second pic is Cria and my orphaned lamb Anna up front. Anna almost died of hypothermia when she was 2 days old and came to live inside with me and at 4 days old we lost both her brother and their mother during a bad snow storm.

In the back left is Trouble and next to her is her lamb from last year, Elouise.

Elouise was a ferrel lamb who we were never able to catch to take to market before breeding season last year. When lambing season arrived this year she separated from the flock one morning before a bad storm and lambed two healthy boys in a small patch of woods about a 1/4 mile from the barn. Luckily we found her and I was able to chase her down and tackle her while my mother grabbed her lambs. After a quick ride in my lap in the back of a 4Runner I was able to get them into a lambing jug for some bonding time and some fresh food and water. For reasons unknown to us all Elouise has been my best friend ever since that day 🤣🤣 so much so that later in the lambing season while waiting for another one of our ewes to lamb one evening I took a wonderful nap with Eloise as my pillow 🥰 bonus photo of that in the comments.
