Wooster isn't an impossible distance! Maybe I'll come check out the show that weekend and pet some internet famous sheeps.

What a man. Twofer has always been a favorite -- such majesty in those horns!

Will you keep his pelt or any other mementos?

He had been sick so the wool was broken and wouldn't make a usable pelt, even if I had been up to skinning him after putting him down. I took some wool to make a cord and I'll take his eartag (he was number 0002 of course) to make a charm for it. I do have his brother's pelt. Roman's owner gifted it to me after having to put him down, they kept the skull for themselves.

I like skulls but I don't know if I could handle having my bud hanging on my wall.

I think the charm is a wonderful idea. :kimchi: That's a very sweet and beautiful memento.

I'm sorry if my question was too personal or too insensitive. You've collected some beautiful pelts in the past and haven't been shy about it, so I thought it was a safe question. If not, I'm very sorry!

Does anything specific lead to pre-term labor? Does the absence of milk have any connection?

Aww, look at him thrive! This seems like a really amazing twist of fate in Biscuit's favor. The loss of the little ram is sad, yet it still seems so meant to be. :unsmith:

Yep! Just like his daddy, Ashe.


There are a handful of polycerate sheep breeds (and a goat breed) that have a genetic trait giving males and females 4 or more horns. Mine are jacobs which are the most common polycerate sheep breed. Four horns is dominant to two horns so it's pretty easy to breed for.

I don't know how I've never caught that before! The stripe is so handsome.
