Annoying things non-sheep owners say to you...

A friends mom once thought a stallion at college had 5 legs.... good thread. Making me laugh...

My nieces were driving down the road one day, and came up behind a cotton truck. Niece N said to her sister, "Oh my gosh, how many sheep did they have to kill to get all that wool?"

My room mate got mad at me one day because I spent money on feed for my goats instead of buying cigarettes for her. I had to laugh at that one. She felt I was really just wasting my money on those "useless" animals.

This post needs a like button. I'm laughing out loud at several of these.

Person: "Oh you have sheep? They are the hardest animals to raise. Always lookin for a place to die..."

Me: Have you ever owned sheep?

Person: "Nope..."

Me: Alrighty then... Come take a look at mine sometime and compare to the sickly animals found at auction sites people misrepresent as "All Sheep."
Treat an animal properly and they aren't that hard to raise... And yes I do eat mine, and they taste delicious!

Oh and another one that always gets me...

Person: "Your sheep don't have wool, so obviously they are goats."

Me: I think I know what my sheep are. They are registered, purebred, and papered Katahdin HAIR Sheep... Meaning they have HAIR.... Not wool

It's ok, everyone thinks my Jacobs are goats even in full wool. I think its the fact that they have horns and aren't just white. But then again most people think my Angora goats are sheep (or poodles) and they have horns.

Yep something in people's mind only lets them think that sheep are solid white. People think of goats as being multi-colored for some reason.
They are in for a surprise when they come to my place.
I have many different colors in my flock including: red, brown, black, white, black and white spotted, red and white spotted etc.

That's what I like about them though. They are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are gonna get!

This is pretty amusing

How about "You shouldn't let your sheep and goats live together, they could cross breed."
