For tame sheep, my tip is to buy them from a Children's Farm!

It's actually been harder to get them to eat out of the trough! (But they've got it now.

They're my Manx Loaghtan gimmers

"Pricket" and "Dot Cotton". Hopefully they'll be having Shetland crosses next spring

Like the pics Sally, our castlemilk's are the least forwards of our bunch, but I think are the prettiest when sheared.
