Getting sheep!!!

They're Castlemilk Moorits.

A primative breed with a reputation for hardiness, good feet, easy lambing, good wool and good meat.

Think you might have to change your username Kate ...

How do you fancy 'Kate and her Zoo'?

Yes, Kate and her ducks and geese and bees and sheep and cats is a bit of a mouthful!

They are beautiful. No wonder you are excited.

If they are a primitive breed, how do they shear?

They have a rather short staple length so a little more challenging to shear (apparently, we get someone in). Catching them is the main problem!
