you raise sheep???? (that sounds so cool!!! and I bet they can be really cute!!!)
I do! I’ve had sheep since March 2024. It’s been a bumpy road and can be quite difficult at times, but I love them more than anything.
This is Princess Buttercup and Percival. Princess is the wool sheep with a black face and Percy is the black hair sheep (she’s also fat and has to have a coat in the winter lol). I don’t have many photos of just the two of them, as most of my photos of my girls include Percy’s twin, Sparkle, who passed in December, and it’s still pretty hard for me to see her in photos.
I raise my sheep as bottle babies. Princess’s mother couldn’t handle three babies and Percy and Sparkle were orphaned. I prefer this because it’s a great bonding experience, even if it’s SO stressful.
They both have great personalities. They love running around on the farm and playing bonk head. They LOVE cookies. They also enjoy yelling at me when they see me.
They’re also very cuddly and will lay down next to you if you sit out in the field.
I plan on getting two more ewes in the spring. I had been wanting to have four sheep total. Bottles babies go fast, so once I start looking I’ll be on it. They’re typically cheaper than weaned lambs because, frankly, the breeders don’t want them. I got Princess for $100 and Percy and Sparkle were $75 each lol.
I’ll be posting more photos soon!
