Name the ram contest

In case you hadn't heard, we bought a ram! He is 1/4 Dorper (the black part) and 3/4 St. Croix. He has a nice hair coat which was a major factor in choosing him. He was born in 2010 and his given name was 'Thing 1'. His twin was named 'Thing 2'. Randy has tentatively named him Captain Jack( because of his black pearls, says Randy), BUT, we already have a Jack so I'm soliciting other suggestions. Come on, send in your name ideas!

Ben is home and came out to watch Fly and I practice. Here are some pictures he took of the gang. This small group is Captain Jack in the front, then Caroline (waiting to see if she will give birth in the next week), Marshmallow, and then Jack.

And here are the rest of the sheep including this years three babies, 150 is Soda (girl from Dr. Pepper), 151 is Rosemary (from Freckles) and 101 is the boy PoP (from Dr. Pepper).

enjoy!

    hmmmm, both breeds are 'hair sheep' -
    no real interest for spinners or knitters
    :^( for me only.

    So, Harry would be my pick for a name
    however, I'm not certain he'd be happy with this name.

  2. How about Jedburgh,(Jed)? Sounds like a strong name for a ram.
