Swallow Lane Torque, back from the taxidermist and hanging on the wall. Now we can admire his magnificent horns, without being in danger of being killed by them. Doesn't he look majestic?

My husband told the grandchildren the rest of him was in the bathroom behind his head..and they looked for the hindquarters! They are thankful Torque is no longer alive because they had reason to fear Torque, which is the number one reason he no longer lives!

Torque is the father of Cedar Pond's Goth, and Goth is still an average temperament ram. I would never trust him, but he does not trouble himself to try to kill me. As long as he remains a 'typical' ram, he does not need to worry about joining his father on the wall!

Spotted Lamb, First of the New Year 2009

~Here is the first lamb of 2009 ! Isn't she cute ?~

~Her mother is Bide-A-Wee Chicory from Karen Lobb and Doug Montgomery's flock in Oregon.~

~This is Cedar Pond's Vandal, Chicory's ram lamb from late last spring. His father is Swallow Lane Torque.~

~This is Cedar Pond's Goth. He is also the son of Swallow Lane Torque, and the half brother of Vandal, and the father of the first lamb of the new year.~
