Girlies' Mum
Overrun with beasties
Hi all, As Latestarter has observed, I have been lurking for rather a long time and I am sorry. I'm not usually silent, but I have been completely overwhelmed and fascinated by the sheepie world many of you (I think) live in in the USA. Katahdin, Dorper, Nigerian Dwarfs and assorted other breeds I don't think I've heard of - and sheep without wool? NO!! Never seen one! Wild predators like coyotes?? Surely not! Seriously I have learnt so much, thank you.
However, somthing was posted I felt on firmer ground with, so I replied, and here I am, fresh from the East coast of Scotland. I have 4 pet sheep, 2 rescued as lambs from the sheep hill farm my land is in the middle of and 2 little Shetlands who were so friendly their owners wanted them to go to a "pet" atmosphere when they were selling them. I have had sheep for about 5 years now and try to learn all I can about them. I help with the lambing (about 2000 sheep) on the neighbouring farm, where my favourite job is (apart from actual lambing) looking after the ewes in the "maternity ward". I adore my own wooly (yes, definitely wooly, not hairy) family, Blackberry, the boss, Snowdrop (her sidekick) and the 2 wee ones - Millie and Woody.
Looking forward to learning more about other sheep and maybe exchanging information. Thank you so much for having me along.
