Pigs and Boys

Well, 'the girls' sure are testing my sense of humour! They seem intent in getting out of their yard and pasture ... which is about five acres, by the way ... and heading for the barnyard fence closest to the house. Here they stand and squeeeeeeel until 'Papa Bill' appears. They must have VERY accurate alarm clocks as the do this at exactly 5:50 each day ... and feeding time is 6:00. Oh well ... at least they are growing. I just look at them and think ... 'smoked pork chops' ... hehehe
This little guy, WillowGarden Abraham Lincoln is growing into an amazing ram! He is a grey yuglet flecket katmoget out of WillowGarden Janis Joplin and Wind Water Sean O'Sullivan. I hope to have room to use him for breeding this Fall. If not, he will be for sale as he is too good to NOT be used!

Here is another one that is too good to not be used by someone ... WillowGarden Lima ... out of WillowGarden Cassandra Wilson and Valley Road Spencer. He is Albf/Aa, so his lambs will either be katmoget or 'solid'. He is also out of a spotted dam so he will also be carrying spots, and likely will throw lots of spots when bred to the right ewes. His fleece is crimpy, soft and even. A beautiful young man!
I am also VERY happy with the way this little guy is growing ... WillowGarden Crispin. He is out of Great PlainsGinney, a black F1 Timothy ... and Whistle Stop Lerwick, a white F1 Drum Jings. He looks to be a smaller ram, but in fact, his body is full sized but his legs are a slight bit shorter, giving him a very masculine and square look ... a look that I really like. And I like this guy a lot. He is a double F2, meaning 50% UK genetics.

Off to work ... oh ... and just in case you missed it before, here is the link to Lisa Harvey's Website ... ;-)
