Moorits out at last

Having spent most of this winter ( not yet over ) in the barn our girls were glad to get out on a bit of grass.

Fowlman, Hi , in answer to your question, yes they are a nice breed to keep, naturaly short tailed  , very hard feet, so no dagging or endless trimming, easy lambing, and very hardy.
They do come to a bucket but they instictivley know when you want them for anything else , then they move like low flying jets and you can spend hours trying to get them to surrender.
