Loafkeeper Farm is proud to present to you the first two official farm critters…
Pumpernickel…
…and Sourdough (she’s in there somewhere)!
Here’s what the folks at Green Fence Farm have to say about these two fuzzy girls:
Both are daughters of our herd ram, Zeus, a powerful herd ram with great fleece. [Pumpernickel] is solid black, born 5/7, daughter of LRB-030P, a black ewe with lovely fleece. She twinned easily, has lots of milk, and is a great mother. Your lamb is grandaughter to our leader ewe, and that line gives us the best wool we have — soft and plentiful.
[Sourdough] is a solid white daughter of TNY-937P, born 5/18. Her mother is an easy going, fabulous mom. She has a gorgeous white coat of ringlets already and is growing like a weed.
We’ll be bringing them home at the end of summer. If you have some free time, we could use some help getting the barn fixed up and the fencing set!
They’re so sweet! I bet you can’t wait to have them, despite having to you know… fix up a barn and fencing 😛
What’s with the giant tongue?
You want to lick a sheep?
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a sheep? One…..two…
It probably varies greatly depending on the time of year … which would affect the amount of wool. I think it would take less licks, for example, right after shearing. Whereas right before shearing, it would take many, many licks.
