maren and marilyn

Maren (top) and Marilyn (above)have both been sheared.  Looks to me like they are definately pregnant.  These ewes were both born last year, So we didn't know for sure if they would breed.  Any guess how far along they are.?  I think Maren is much closer to lambing than Marilyn.  I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of lambs these ewes throw.  Both have exceptional fleece.

These two ewes came from a trip we took to Painted Rock in W.Virginia.  The top two photos are of Maren, She never shuts up.  The loudest Ewe in the flock of jacobs, it's a good thing she has such a pretty face.  The bottom photo is of Marilyn.  She's kind of funny looking, the way her horns turn forward, but something about her just stuck out about her that made her seem like something we wanted.  I was intially attracted to her legs, I guess.  We were making the trip to pick up a ram anyway, so what's another ewe.  Both of these girls were born last year, so there is a very good possibility that neither of them is bred.  Both of these ewes has EXCEPTIONALLY nice wool.
