When I got my girls they had just been sheared and were dark brown but their fleece is begining to grow through now and there is quite a lot of grey. I am currently spinning a Ryeland fleece like that, although not from my own girls, and it is looking nice.
I feed them by hand each morning, 2 sheep nuts each. I only give them that so that they come to me. Otherwise they are just on grass. The will let me touch their faces and look at their teeth but aren't keen on anything else. To look at their feet we need to get them into the hurdles. I have tried turning them over, as shown by Tim Tyne, but must admit, as a beginner, I didn't find it easy. I enlisted the help of OH and we got there between the two of us. Once they have been turned its easy to do most things to them.
