Believe me, they do grow into those tags. Their ears will be up in a matter of weeks. These are not little bitty sheep.

And since I don't have a lot of lambs, I have the luxury of waiting until absolutely necessary – like when they leave for a new home or go to a show – before piercing their heretofore perfect ears. I don't have pierced ears, either; can you tell? heh ;-)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-4037591521710271332014-04-18T19:16:29.620-05:002014-04-18T19:16:29.620-05:00I'm not crazy about the tags either, but their...I'm not crazy about the tags either, but their ears do perk up pretty quickly. When lambing is finished this year, I'll have about 30 lambs running around and, without the tags, remembering which lambs go with which ewe becomes too much of a mental challenge for me!Dianne MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10168188912154245536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-47936714369806928792014-04-18T11:37:11.521-05:002014-04-18T11:37:11.521-05:00So adorable!

Thanks again for capturing some of my babies.<br /><br />In answer to a question about the breed of sheep I'm raising at Tanglewood, nearly all the lambs this year are sired by a Wensleydale. The last four ewes to lamb were bred to a Cotswold/Border Leicester ram. The ewes are mostly BFL/CVM/Romney combinations. I'm breeding for fleece softness, luster and length.Dianne MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10168188912154245536noreply@blogger.com
