Mid-March(the twelfth, to be exact), and spring is right around the corner. I can hardly wait! We have introduced another breed of sheep here to Veliraf Farm. Finding our original stock was quite the challenge!! Registered Roanovs are few and far between, that's for sure. After almost a year, we finally managed to bring home 5 ewe lambs!! Although it will be early 2009 before our first purebred Romanov lambs are born here at our farm- we are quite happy with our purchase. These girls are totally amazing sheep in regards to their prolificy. The regularily have litters of three, four, five, and even six lambs. They breed reliably out of season, all of our ewe lambs were born in October- and the smallest litter size of our purchased lambs was 2. Quite impressive!!! We think these girls are very pretty, and they are quite photogenic as well- even in our dark-ish barn. See how Trinity winks at the camera!!!

You got the prettiest one for sure of the whole bunch we got. I'm jealous! lol.
But I got more, na na, na na, na na!
I'll have to get myself a blogger account, now that I have this gmail account I can use for an ID, too. I'm just trying to figure out how it all works.
I have to post some pics of mine now, too. 1 of the Reg. Rom girls I got from Quebec, is already shedding, which I think is just fabulous!
