Who woulda thought, eh? BUT ... I just love their wool, their dispostion ... and those ears ... :-)These pictures were all taken at Brenda Lelli's Beechtree Blues Farm
So far ... I have the Canadian import permit done. Brenda's husband Mark is a Vet and he has mostly completed the US application. Now ... I wait patiently (NOT!) until Monday or Tuesday when the paperwork will all be with the USDA for approval. Import is scheduled for Monday, July 23rd, so we are working on a tight timeline. There is talk of changes in the US that might make the import of ewes even MORE difficult, so I decided not to wait any longer!
I am bringing in ... a coloured ram, a white ram, a coloured ewe, and two white ewes. I believe they will be the only BFLs in Canada, at the moment. I haven't yet seen the EXACT animals coming ... except for this dude above. I love this guy. He was a bottle baby and underneath that brown looking fleece ... he is a deep, rich, silver. Look at that face ... "Please Bill, take me to Canada, eh?". How could I say "No!" to anything that cute ... ;-)

Bill, that is so exciting! To think you would be the first in Canada to have BFL's.
You guys are SORELY tempting me to bring a few home myself... ;)
