Title: Happy Chinese New Year of the Sheep!!
Post by: Me on February 19, 2015, 08:49:12 am

My favourite ewe is lambing now on the first day of the year of the sheep - must mean good things! Any suggestions for Pedigree names for the offspring?

Yeah that was trialled for a while, one ewe born on an "i" year was named "imidgethewonderpony"...

We currently have a "Noiseymrprincesscreamegg" not sure of the year letter... will just add it as a prefix if required

 :goat: and  :sheep: as the chinese character doesn't differentiate!
So we're doing well with having both :)
