Nice sheep, and even nicer photo! From one photographer to another :thumbsup:
We'll turn the dust to soil,
Turn the rust of hate back into passion.
It's not water into wine
But it's here, and it's happening.
Massive,
but passive.


Bring the peace back

You'll have 50% tup lambs every year once you start breeding - most, if not all, will not be suitable for registration. So autumn 2013, you'll have tup lambs for slaughter  :)
