Shetland sheep have changed my life and touched my heart. They have brought me joy, adventure and serenity. Follow along as I live each day influenced by memories of my mighty flock of mini sheep ~ aided and abetted by "Bellamica", the English Shepherd,"Sable", my livestock guardian dog and "Hero" the rescue dog that stole my heart! You'll also meet many of the homeless dogs that I rescue and rehome as part of Bluff Country Canine Rescue.

Now Where Were We? Oh Yes... "BLUFF COUNTRY WHITE NIGHT"!
Moon Shadow proudly presents his best buddy: "BLUFF COUNTRY WHITE NIGHT" (BC Flash Flood X Sheltering Pines Crescent Moon).
These two boys are often seen grazing side by side but, occasionally, I do manage to catch a glimps of Night by himself.
Although, Shadow is often just out of view...
Sometimes it's NIGHT who's just out of view!
I no longer want to keep White Night hidden! He's MUCH too gorgeous of a ram lamb to get lost in the mob in the Bluff Country.
White Night is from the "White Diamond" line and has the characteristic, fine, crimpy, dense fleece that is associated with White Diamond. His also has nice length and a beautiful luster! Night's conformation is excellent! He is definitely SHOW QUALITY.
The spotting around his lips, eyes (and on his tongue!), as well as the stripe on his horn, are indicative of the spotting genetics he carries. White Night is sired by Crescent Moon, so carries HST spotting genetics as well as moorit and will throw them 50% of the time.
Take a bow,White Night....
Tomorrow: An exquisite, black/krunet YEARLING ram...
Mmmmmm Nancy - Think you could somehow smuggle White Knight across the border to me. I just happen to be looking for a white ram - and he is absolutely stunning!!!!
What wonderful animals. They are truly beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI wish my white ram lamb looked like your White Night. He is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAll the rams are gorgeous, but White Night is truly something special. That fleece!!!!
ReplyDeleteHe IS really nice, Nancy. I've got White Diamond blood here - they DO have nice crimpy fleece, don't they? :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet face he has, too! Beautiful boy - too bad I can't just keep him in our postage-stamp back yard in the city...
ReplyDeleteAre you *sure* you want to sell him?
Nice horns! Looks well put together also! Love the chicks too :)
