Chartreuse? That will get lost to easily in the vegetation. I'd go with Orange (please, Bay?) or fuchsia or even cobalt blue. Now that would be one fine color for a tractor.

Let him in with the other rams yesterday and after some small arguments, they are all dandy now. Gotta love just how friendly Babydoll sheep are. Rare to have serious or deadly ram introductions with these guys.
Also finished the ram pasture. Which was supposed to be pasture E for ewes, but I think I'll use it for rams and wethers instead.

Yea, Ann breeds some really nice sheep. I've gone to her for the last three years and brought back at least 1 sheep with me each time (have 4 now total). I promised her husband I'd be back next year for more, lol. Probably get 2 ewes from her in 2016, maaaaaybe 3 if I find the $ for it.

Breed to sell, but also kept like pets. Lots of fluffy, sweet, grass eating cotton pets! Lol.
Babydolls are mainly used as pets or for wool, some as orchard mowers and others for show. Haven't met anyone using them for meat or admitting that they eat culls/leftover wethers.
I have someone who should of mailed me a check for my last 2 wethers on Monday. So I won't have any to test out for dinner. BUT, I do have a Cheviot ewe, so I will have mix lambs. If they don't sell, they will be dinner.
