Hope they're not too nervous, they will calm down even if it takes a year or so, they look really beautiful when sheared so make sure you get a good shearer, not one than leaves them looking like an extruded 50p piece.  Enjoy!   ;D

Thank you everyone! They're all settling in well, not running like the wind when I come in!
Not entirely sure what line they are, they're from the Hope flock? I was told I need more line 1 in my flock so I will get in touch when I need another tup, Tizaala, thank you!
