I have adopted five rare-breed Karakul sheep! They are considered the oldest breed of sheep and originate from Asia. They have a long staple wool that is very strong, mostly used for rugs and outer garments.I will tell about three of the additions this week and two in my next posting so stay tuned!
Bayarma is the only new ewe
This is Bayarma! She is an eight year old ewe and is always smiling as you can see! She is the smallest of the new sheep probably weighing around 125 pounds. She has tight perfect curls framing her silky smooth face. A very pretty girl!
Haggart is so handsome!
I am just smitten with Haggart! Named after the big and warm character from the Harry Potter books “Haggart” is fitting. He a very friendly guy and just so gorgeous!
Darwin munches on some delicious hay
Darwin is a lovely red color, unusual for Karakuls. He is the shyest of my new friends but will still join us for treats. His fleece is a warm beige and I cannot wait to play with it!
