These are my critters, not in any particular order. 

Raven is a Toggenburg / Boer cross. One of twins, her brother Rain Arrow lives with a friend of ours. Her Dam was "Trisha Poe" a beautiful Togg. Her Sire was Blue, a handsome Boer buck, with great personality.

Fire is a Katahdin wether. Katahdins are a breed of hair sheep developed in the state of Maine. The founder of the breed named after Mt. Katahdin. The highest peak in that state. His parentage is unknown. {It took a long time to find a name for Fire. I didn't like the one he came with. He didn't answer to it anyway.}He's kind of skittish, but getting better. he has lived here for a year now.

"Dune" Runner is a Toggenburg / Boer cross. One of twins, her brother is Cloud. There Dam, Lady let them nurse, until they were 3 years old. (She didn't have any milk, but she let them.) There Sire was Blue.

Alex is a Romanov Ram. Romanov sheep are known for multiple births, and are said to "Lamb In Litters." They are born black. As they grow in there fleece, they lighten to a silvery gray. We rescued Alex at a few days old, and bottle raised him. His Dam, I think was named Ruby, but I can't remember his Sire's name. #22 Alex got the grain pail stuck on his head.

"Cloud"Dancer is a Togg / Boer cross. Dune's full brother. Cloud was a bit of a flak when he was young, and did not like people. He still doesn't like strangers, but he's really friendly with me. He loves to stick his nose in the camera lens. When I take him packing, I call him my "Dope On A Rope"

Two Socks is a pygmy wether, that I got from my Uncle. Two Socks, and Fire grew up together, but were separated when my Uncle took them. They are good friends again, and tend to stay near each other. He was standoffish when I got him a couple months ago, but he's a friendly little snot now. [his name was L. S. when I got him.]

Princess "Juju" is also a Togg / Boer cross. Her Dam was Trisha Poe, her Sire, Blue. Juju Raven's older sister. I bottle raised Juju, as her Mother didn't have enough milk, and would not take care of her. Juju is friendly with everybody. Especially if there is a treat involved.

{I just had to add #23.} Titan is a Romanov / Katahdin cross ram. His Dam was Tullulah, and his Sire Brutes. I sold Titan a few years ago. More out of necessity, than want.  He had already bred his mother once, and I didn't want him to breed her again, or his ewe lambs from the first time. I would dearly love to buy him back. What a character, and very friendly, despite being raised by his mother.
