As Advertised
Maryland Sheep & Wool had, not surprisingly, a large number of sheep and other wooly things. We found wee baby goats:
Curly horned sheep (do the horns mean they’re boys? Are boy sheep really rams, like how boy cows aren’t so much cows as bulls or steer?):
Sheep getting haircuts:
And sheep with the post trim dreads (very styling):
Plus the odd llama and rabbit and other furry friend. Very cute. Very smelly. Very noisy.
Oh, great pics! Yes, boy sheep are rams, unless they’re wethers, but horns do not necessarily mean they’re boys. In some breeds, only the rams have horns, in others, both rams and ewes have horns, and some breeds have nobody with any horns at all. Icelandic and Jacob ewes can have horns.
Those are some of the cleanest, prettiest sheepies I have ever seen. Beautiful pictures.
Thanks, but it’s mostly the sheep! They were all cleaned up and pretty for the show (and a few of them were recently shorn and so hadn’t had time to get erm…icky…again).
