You know that black BFL's can't be registered?  So she should be cheaper than a regular one.  And the black is recessive.  I've no idea how that will play to a coloured Ryeland - but would be very interested in a fleece from the offspring!   :excited: :spin:

Oh, and BFLs are highly prone to triplets, so don't flush;)

I was actually thinking of you when I was offered the lamb. I think I will buy her and give you her fleece and those of her lambs  :thumbsup:
