Re: [Blackbelly] lamb birth
Thanks for sharing. I just love new life on the farm. That's a nice size lamb. Did you get a weight on it? Ram or ewe? One of my girls gave birth to a 9.4 lbs ewe lamb the day of the parade so now I'm trying to come up with a Chinese name for her. Any ideas are welcomed :) On Mon, Feb 23, 2015 at 9:26 PM, Rick Krach rickkr...@hotmail.com wrote: I love your pictures, Tiana.

Shooter was so well mannered. As soon as we brought him out of the trailer he was the center of attention. Everyone wanted to pet him, touch his horns and take pictures with him. There was also a horned dorset and navajo churro ram there and they did wonderfully as well. Shooter became a little ramy when he saw the other two rams but settled in after a little while. There were a lot of fire crackers, drums and dancing dragons and he just took it all in. When the mayor put a necklace thing around his neck we were surrounded by cameras and he was very well mannered. During the mayor's speech Shooter had a little girl massaging his ears the whole time. Once the speech was over we went back to the trailers and we once again surrounded by people wanted pictures with the rams. We finally had to tell people no more so that we could leave and Shooter was quit exhausted by the whole thing. I would love to know what he thought about the whole experience and what he told the other sheep when we got back :) If I would have had more notice I would have made up cards with information about the breed that I could have passed out because everyone was interested in more information but we were so busy that we didn't have the time to spend with each person. Here some pictures. Enjoy. https://plus.google.com/photos/105557857002706950119/albums/6118783555126117329 -- Tiana Franklin ___ This message is from the Blackbelly mailing list Visit the list's homepage at %http://www.blackbellysheep.info -- Tiana Franklin ___ This message is from the Blackbelly mailing list Visit the list's homepage at %http://www.blackbellysheep.info
