It might be fun to name the wethers after deserts, i.e. Sahara, Gobi, Kalahari, Namib, Gibson, Simpson, Kavir, Thar, Sonoran, Yuma, Mojave, Kara-Kum Kyzyl-Kum, Takla Makan, Sandy (for the Great Sandy desert in Australia) and Victor (for the Great Victoria, also in Australia)<BR/><BR/>I think deserts would be clever because wethers are infertile. <BR/><BR/>Sandra Cohrs, Parsley was not left out, unfortunately he didn't survive.
