    So who wants Sandi to keep Billy? 👍
    Edit: it looks like Billy needs to be a keeper. Gifting him to Belinda might be the right choice. Sandi? What do you think?

    Hello from Tasmania, Australia. 😊
    I don’t even know why I’m here.
    I don’t even like sheep.
    I don’t even live on a farm. But yet still here everyday. Constantly learning sheep information that I will never have a use for 😂😂

    @astra1653 4 года назад +224

    Yeah, you definitely need to keep Little Billy. He'll help you on your way to establishing your own little flock of black sheep. And just think about it, the black wool has to be separated anyway, so take the black wool for yourself, get it turned into bobble hats (tooks?), and market it as your Big Billy line (or I actually like Bad Billy Gear), and there's another revenue stream, like you and Mark discussed on your podcast. Just a thought. I'd certainly buy one, because Billy is awesome!

    After all you and the sheep went through with the roof, you did really well. That was so stressful for all of you. You could have lost way more lambs before even being born. I can only imagine how scared they were with that huge sheet of roof flapping in high wind. Then to see the sky and being snowed on. You were so stressed and I know they picked up on it as well. For this group to come through with such great weight gain is proof your doing things right.

    They definitely look like fantastic healthy lambs. Those weights were really good, cannot wait to see the results from the rest of the lambs, they all look amazing. Considering this was the group that had the stress from the roof, they definitely haven’t shown an after effects (I know you did have a couple abort early on). But so far it seems to be a positive outcome.
    I think Billy Jnr is a keeper, as well as his siblings. Imagine what you could do if you kept their wool. Maybe you could get someone to make some Beanies, (I believe you call them a Toque) with holes for your ponytail and normal ones as well, then get your logo on it as well. Endless supply of Toques for your whole family.

    I don't know anything about lambing or any kind of farming, I do live in the farming and horse world of Southeastern Kentucky, But it seems you are doing an AWESOME job with your lambs, and when it comes to that kind of work the first thing is you have to love what you do that way it's not a job, Keep up the awesome work, YOU GO GIRL .
