New Ewe Naming Contest

Thank you all for your participation in our first naming contest! We had some great suggestions and a lot of fun. We will be doing more of this type of contest in the future for sure! In naming our new ewe it came down to three names, Oona, Valka, and Birna. Each of these names were associated with great meanings and had very appropriate connections to what we are doing here at Bákurholt Bær.

We'll, of course, keep refining things, but you're all great to be helping out in the meantime! As we always say, this whole project would be nothing without you.
