They are so cute!!

cute overload. I wonder if they are as friendly as they look

Dude! Even in the same state as my parents! They have mostly white and light fawn, which are the least valuable. My rents have mostly black and silver, the most. The big ugly llama is a guard llama - if a predator comes, he gets the llama first and no one cares because they're cheap. I CANNOT believe she lifted that bale of hay. It's condensed and weighs about 75 pounds. I can barely drag them around. But her sad little wall of ribbons......... mom and dad have billions.

YES!!!!!!!! They are that friendly!!!!!

Aw, that milk faced one is cute! My rents have a milk faced boy named Odgen. My mom always tried to get me to look at his balls, which althugh most of him is deep brown, are white. Groos!

They are all freshly shorn and not as cute, in my opinion. SweetTea did you get to hug them and love them? That one barn pic looks like their area is so muddy and dirty, but then there's all that lovely grass!

oh, don't worry -- they had lots of space and most of the area was extremely beautiful for them. that one just put his head behind the barn as we were coming over, to let us know he was on patrol.


pretty pasture on a hill, with a brook beyond the fence.

i loved how they looked freshly shorn, because it makes their heads look extra big for their bodies, like funny muppets.

they were shy of us -- too many new faces -- though the owner says they get hugs from her and her son. (they're more or less his 4H project.)

the shetland sheep, on the other hand, were like dogs with hooves:
