They'd look clean compared to the average "Occupy" protester, but I am not accustomed to such filth in animals.

Is this normal for this breed or do I have some housekeeping to attend to?

 

[farmerDale]

Describe filth??? What do you mean by filthy?

 

[bergere]

My Katahdins are very clean looking.

Pictures! I'll show you mine if you show me yours... ;-)

 

[Awnry Abe]

The barn floor is dusty. It has been wet, and the grass tall. I don't think they can help but get filthy.

 

[bergere]

Mine stay clean.... OK they get their knees dirty but that is about it.
The ewe on the left with the Bell, is off white.

I have some 6 month old Kat/Dorper ewe lambs that never shed their baby coats, and they look horrid! Their white is brown! A white Dorper/Kat ewe lamb that is a little older did shed hers and she is white. They live in a very dry, dusty pasture.

 

[lexierowsell]

They're *so* gross.

The really white one in the front (harassing me for treats while taking pics) is EF x BFL, super clean and white vs the rambos.

Yeah, my Kats can look quite dirty when it's wet outside.
My barn floor is dirt, so they come into the barn wet and then lay on the dirt barn floor.
There's no way I'm gonna bathe 'em all, so it is what it is.
When they shed their hair, they look clean again! :happy2:

Hey you have a "cow", we got our first cows this year.

 

[bergere]

LOL Ya, love the colors! Nice flock you have there.

 

[BrownYaks]

The coloring on the rambo's is mainly from lanolin....Wait till you shear again. I run a mix flock and the yellow ramboulliets are easy to spot.

 

[Pony]

Yeah, once they lose those baby coats, they'll look pretty again.
