Wow, what a weekend!

BSG - clipping for show, a photo by Project Pictures on Flickr.

This was the weekend of the Black Sheep Gathering (it's winding up even as I type this afternoon). It was amazing!

It was so amazing, it's going to take several posts to wrap the whole thing up, but I'll start with the sheep-show.

I love walking through the sheep-and-goat rooms at BSG. They smell (a little) but mostly it's a clean-barny smell with lots of lanolin that I love (unless it's a particularly warm weekend, and then it turns towards other things, but this week we had amazingly lovely weather!). I always take the time to snap a bunch of pictures (no flash, tho!)

So here we are with a mostly-picture post. I'll leave the photos themselves to do most of the talking.

Wee adorable Pygora goats:




The Big Billy Goat Gruff (my daughter and I seek him out every year!):


Jacob, my favorite breed:


Oh, I forgot what this dude was.. but what awesome colored horns!


A small Shetland:


And Navajo-Churro:




There's lots more to come! I'd better get writing.
