Funny you say "fuzzy" because that was the original term I had put in the email. Then I decided to change it to wooly. They are fuzzy to me. Does anyone have any tricks to taming them? These are like wild little deer jumping around and it's a real workout to catch them. I bought them for pets, and because I think they are beautiful. And one more question. At what age can the little Rams become Daddy Rams? At what age do you breed ewes the first time? Guess that was 2 questions ~grin~ Tammy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carol J.
