Meet Roundabout Acres Costello

2009 Costello soft, soft fleece

Costello face/horns March 2009

Roundabout Acres Costello was used this year for breeding our Shetland lambs.  I put the Shetland group together late so we still have one ewe yet to deliver.  (YIKES!  This is too late…I will never do that again!)  So far he has thrown spots, spots, spots.  He is an Ag, musket, bersugget smaller framed ram with a very pleasant, respectful personality.  His fleece is soft and lovely.  He wool was easily rooed (hand plucked) and very clean.  I am considering if I should sell him this year or use him again next.  I will wait until lamb evaluation is done at the end of the summer.

I snapped these photos when Costello was checking out his new lambs.  I thought he was looking different but I couldn’t figure what it was.  I saw the difference when I was looking through photos.  Do you see it?

Are those my lambs?
