I need your help with these furry toys Give me some names for these little boys The score is ten to two right now And I ran out of boy's names WOW  Number one = TAYLOR Born last night in glow of Moon A smart little fellow he is And while he rests in early Sun Mother DeVine is giving a kiss  Number two and three = AARON and ANDREW Two little fellows born yesterday Look how they are standing proud When Mom takes a step aside from them Both will protest in voices real loud  Number four and five = TRAVIS and TREVOR Aren't these adorable No twins are looking the same I hope my friends you can come up For both with a suitable name  Number six and eight = TRIGGER and BOUNCE She is a bit of a slummy Mom And didn't clean them properly But in a few days his filthy coat Will be shining white, you'll see  Number nine (left)= CHRISTOPHER Sea provided my second girl Don't you think ZIGGY suits her well? And if she's anything like her Mom She'll give me pleasure, I can tell With AUGUSTIN and TOERAG The boys are counting ten But number eleven has just been born I'll show his pic tomorrow then So if you could give me some names for these guys You'll probably relief me from a lot of sighs Five ewes to go, but they're not due yet Meaning that I can go earlier to bed Like scattered leaves...my words will flow [This message has been edited by Titia Geertman (04-04-2004 09:37 AM).] |

Well now...Titia...I was just reading this when my husband walked in (his name is TAYLOR)and he fell in love with all those pretty babies...and then come to think of it, Martie, if it is spelled with a y instead of an ie, is a boys name. So there you go...Taylor and Marty!  |

Oh, they're so darling! We have five lambs, but they're not as cute as yours. What kind of sheep are yours? Ours are Barbados Blackbelly. We named the girls this spring Quinn and Bunny, and the boys Tigger, Abram, and Bounce. Thanks for sharing these gooorrgeous pictures! Are they maybe Icelandic sheep? Are the black and white ones Jacob's sheep? |

Thanks friends, as you see some of them have gotten a name. I already had a Marty once, can't use the name twice. Rosemary: these are the oldest Dutch breed called Drenthen Heathsheep. They are multi-coloured, so you never can tell wich colour the lamb will have and except the really black ones, they'll all get a white fleece when growing up and the original colour will only show on the head and legs. It's a very rare breed (unfortunately they've mixed them with other breeds a lot)and we (with a group of people around the country) are breeding back the typical original breed. It's a weathered sheep (if that's the right word). It can stay outdoor all year 'round and the lambs are being born in open field. I've looked up the Barbados Blackbelly, it's a beautiful sheep too, like the colours. Titia Like scattered leaves...my words will flow |

Titia, I enjoyed this soooo much. All of them are so cute and soft eyed. To celebrate all these blessings, I would call the light haired CHAMPAGNE. What peaceful scenery you convey! Love and hugs. Margherita |

It's that time of year again! Oh Titia ... I just want to jump through the screen and grab a hold of these sweeties for a great big cuddle. I adored the pictures and the poem. If you still need some more names, the only boy's names coming to my mind right now are my nephews, Travis & Trevor. Thanks for such a sweet post, I'm glad I caught it this morning. Give one of them a hug for me please?  Best wishes, /Kit |

Titia, Thanks for sending these cuties this way. We pasture cattle and have no young this year as we sold the ferocious bull. I'm so glad you posted this. As a teen, I raised Suffolk, Shropshire, Hampshires for 4-h and grandpa had a straggly OLD merrino. The Drenthen and Barbados Black are new to me. Glad to learn about them. Happy Spring. Sadie |
