She is not really that old at almost 7 years.Phyllis 514Phyllis is an 8 year old lilac ewe.EarsThis is Ears, the second BFL-cross that I have kept.FaulknerHere is Faulkner, the BFL ram. He gets to be "clean-up" ram and is out with all the breeding flock now.DSC_6112    I used red the first two weeks of breeding (starting October 1) and green the second two weeks. Almost all the sheep are marked with red and maybe a 6 or 8 with green. Faulkner has been with them for about 5 days and there are 3 yellow marks so far. Marilyn 13007 left   Marilyn is my favorite of the lambs I'm keeping this year.AmaryllisAmaryllis
