Black sheep are amongst the favourites within the farm. They are cute and cuddly. These lambs are a few weeks old and spend their time out in the field with their mothers.

| Two other black lambs with their mother, who is not as dark as some of the others. Many black lambs lose much of their black colour as they mature.

Black Sheep are not very common on the farm, part of the reason may be that the wool is very dark and difficult to dye with all of the bright colours we use today.

| These two are sunning themselves on this warm day. Mother is not far away though keeping a watchful eye on them. The mothers are very protective of the young lambs and do not let them stray very far.

| Another black lamb in the barn. Farmer Bob keeps them there for a day or so depending on how good the weather is outside. When they do go out into the fields farmer Bob checks them very morning and evening to ensure they have not wandered far from their mothers.
