...thanks to lots of people on here, but especially SallyInTheNorth and most importantly JayKay.
I have two VERY happy small boys. I wasn't sure William would be particularly interested, but just now, he is just as excited as Angus.
Quality is already eating out of Angus's hand (think I might need to watch her waistline!) and Cora, her lamb comes right up to him too. The others are also all coming very close considering they only arrived at lunch time and none of them have been exposed to pre school boys before!

Lovely pictures. The boys look like they have been around sheep for ages :thumbsup:

Absolutely brilliant :thumbsup: all round. I couldn't be happier for you, the boys and the sheep :excited:.
And I know it's a mixed blessing for jaykay, but I am very pleased for her too that some of her very best sheep have gone to such a super home :-*

Shhh... don't tell anyone... but I love the feeling of a sheep nibbling cake out of my hand.

Now that's what a happy ending looks like. :)

Try lying down and putting some on your bare belly ;)

Love that photo of the two lads with their buckets. :)

We now have 3 sheep (Quality, Buffy and Breeze) eating from our hands, and another 2 (Snowy and Cora) who are desperate too but not quite brave enough yet. Reva and Cassie are a bit more shy, but still come very close. They are lovely.

I love that picture too - reminds me of my own happy childhood days. It's worth trimming and framing it and keep it til they're teenagers and think they hate eachother 8).
I'm so glad everything's working out well with your lovely new flock :thumbsup:
