Several people have suggested "Tina" from the movie Napoleon Dynamite, however, my mother-in-law's name is Tina...I think you see the problem with that.<BR/> Good idea with the polled list Nancy. The boys with the scurs have a lot going for them,and they have Rockmiester's fleece, so if nothing else I will wether them and keep them for fiber...you know how yummy Rocky's fleece is ;).Crosswinds Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05688096037530031617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525083807112117001.post-18003178148338595152007-07-13T19:06:00.000-05:002007-07-13T19:06:00.000-05:00I have a pumpkin patch, gone rampant, too!

There might be some people there who would be interested in your ram with the tiny horns. There's quite a movement towards polled genetics in Shetlands and Zorro (Rocky's sire) definitely carried the polled gene. You might find good homes for ram lambs who's horns don't look promising for a horned flock....just a thought.Nancy K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06061265740359266798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525083807112117001.post-68781045119176221972007-07-13T12:19:00.000-05:002007-07-13T12:19:00.000-05:00I'm sure your pumpkins are VERY happy you planted ...I'm sure your pumpkins are VERY happy you planted them on top of the old manure pile -- ha ha! I was glad when I finally got to the part about the farmer's market; I was beginning to feel woefully deficient as a gardener. My mom used to plant a HUGE garden (my step-brother and I got to weed it) and preserve a lot out of financial necessity; I do my share but nothing like she did.<BR/><BR/>By the way, if you want help naming lambs, that's my one of my very favorite things to do -- thinking up names!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.com
