It is a type of mesh electric fence. I saw a small flock of woolies being contained in an electric mesh fence enclosure last year and it looked like just the ticket. The site is http://www.premier1supplies.com/store/fencing.html Thank you Ron and Sandy of Salem for the welcome. One of the most exciting things I have discovered about this breed is that it is loved by the neatest people!!! I am just thrilled with the responsiveness and the friendliness of the BBSAI . The newsletter I just received was absolutely dynamite, and I will bind them and save them for their tremendous content of information. I have just come home from a visit with another breeder - everybody has been so welcoming and so full of encouragement and enthusiasm for bringing another person on board. How could anyone resist being drawn in! Oh! And I am looking forward to bringing my foundation flock sire home in July! :o) Best regards, Barb Lee --__--__-- Message: 2 From: "Sue Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sun, 02 May 2004 18:40:12 -0500 Subject: [blackbelly] Elf Ears Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi everyone, Guess I'll have to put my opinion in here. We have 1 ewe with " elf ears" - she is our biggest ewe and a very good breeder. She's twinned everytime she's delivered and delivers large lambs, which also grow faster than the other lambs. Her 1st set of twins had normal ears like their daddy. Her 2nd and 3rds set both had elf ears. Now her last set had a little ewe lamb with elf ears and a ram lamb with normal ears. Butcher her - NEVER!!! breed her - YOU BETCHA!!! The ewe has very hardy lambs and they grow fast. Her ist male lamb weighed 65 lbs. dressed out and he was a little under a year old. We have another lamb of hers that's a wether and he is over a year old - can't wait to see what he dresses out at. Then we just traded her fall ram lamb and the people who took him were suprised at how heavy he was at 6 months. Yes we take a chance on the ears but we want to keep her female offspring for the size they throw. Just my outlook.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] What age is officially designated as LAMB? Does it vary between woolies & hairies? ;-) I thought it was 6 months?
