The Black Sheep Gathering of 2012 is now history. It was another great year for the Bluefaced Leicester. The judges are experiencing this breed across the nation, the public is noticing it and adding a BFL to their commercial ewes or handspinner's flock. There were several requests for BFL fleece as none had been entered into the fleece show. The reason for this is that we are all sold out and are taking reservations for fleeces now for the fall shearing.

The Champion Ewe is shown on the left and her twin is the Champion Ram on the right. Many thanks to all the breeders from the Rockies to the Pacific and Canada to Southern California that shared in the weekend. For more information about the show watch for a full article on the BLU site (here).
