You don't live in Idaho or Montana or you would have an electric fence wire around the top of your fence. Love those cute little guys :tup:

I did'nt go there, but I sure do like lamb. Mutton is'nt worth a dang but lamb sure is tasty.

To bad there such cute little buggers.

Actually, my two boys are going to raise sheep this year for FFA to sell at the NW Wash Fair. It'll be a new experience for them. On our propterty with a couple friends that will also have critters here. Seems that the normal sources for babe's are potentially short this year. Might have to search around to get the ones we need.

Post by: steen on January 30, 2010, 07:37:32 PM: IF you are looking for lambs for FFA I may know of someone who has some lambs if he is still raising them. It would be between Lynden and Sumas.

Post by: JackOfAllTrades on January 30, 2010, 08:13:43 PM: Yes, an adult Bald Eagle is capable of taking a lamb twice the birds weight.

Thank you Steen... I'll check with the boys on the availability through current FFA sources.

I've actually witnessed bald eagles taking lambs. That was down in Oregon. Ranchers hated them. The eagles would kill one a day.

Post by: Axle on February 01, 2010, 02:01:08 PM: If you want a really friendly lamb, turn one into a bottle baby. I had to bottle feed this one last year after her mother died unexpectedly. She is an American Blackbelly sheep. In this picture, we were on our way up to the Stampede or Teanaway to do a good hike. She was so much fun! She stuck to me like I was mommy.
She absolutely loved to ride in the vehicle. Fell asleep at times too.

I like it also but it cost's a pretty penny for it over here, 7 bucks for 1lb of ground lamb or 40 dollars for a whole leg of lamb.
