Re: [Blackbelly] sheep noises
My blackbellies make this guttral sound when they have a new lamb and are cleaning it up... Cecil in OKla Carla Amonson wrote: I have found in our flock that the Barbs do not make any noises except when they have lambs-they call their babies, and both holler of they are separated. After weaning it is all quiet again. But, even when they do talk, they are nothing like a wool sheep. We can always hear the father-in-laws sheep and he is a half mile away from us through the bush. My Soay are the same, but they make an additional noise that I have not heard in the Barbs. They make a gutteral crooning sound to their babies that is really sweet I find-like they are purring to them when they are concerned but not overly stressed. Maybe someone else can comment if they Barbs do this? Carla __ Yahoo! Canada Toolbar: Search from anywhere on the web, and bookmark your favourite sites.

Re: [Blackbelly] noisy sheep
Well, I must have the noisy sheep of all. Mine love to talk! my husnband says it gets so annoying!. If I have a ewe that is given a little extra when she is alone. she then comes to the fence and cries everytime someone goes out. She wan't a bottle baby either She now has 6wk old twins and when she sees us she cries. Needless to say the rest of the heard will here her make that special sound which means shes gonna get something and boom! They all come running! Most all of my bottle babies will cry out when I am out or if its time to be fed. I have 2 now that you can set a clock by that are 2 months old. 6:30 am, 12:30 and then at 7pm. And if I don't do it right then they will scream till I do. Weaning is going to be a chore this time! But I love them. The talkers as I call them are all very people social sheep whiich alot of my others aren't. They will even ba back when spoken too when I walk in the feild with them at my side. My husband says I must be half sheep myself I spend so much time with them. I have had bottle babies catch a cold from me in the past. So everyone be aware with the flue and cold season coming round. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL ! Nancy ___ This message is from the Blackbelly mailing list Visit the list's homepage at %http://www.blackbellysheep.info
