Sheep!

We are going to try our hand at raising a few sheep.. yes to eat.. and a bit of wool maybe. This was a very exciting day and makes the trips down to the farm now really special because these are "our sheep" and No one loves them more than I and Aliza. They came home from Portage Wis. in the back of Greg's Pick up truck. And with the help of the 3 strand fence Dan strung and a car battery and jumper cable thingies to connect the two we have a pasture full of our first 14 sheep. the ram IKE... the two favorite friendly ewes are Amber and Mona (both Hair sheep) Wendy and Dolly are our older wooly ewes. Appache is the hair sheep that is tri colored and 1/2 Painted Desert hair sheep.
I LOVE IT .. My Husband is quite a well read up - and good shepherd already! they are his Thing but I am really enjoying them too!
