I feel like you deserve a rant. Why do you like sheep?
OK
ok so first of all there are so many different breeds. There aren’t just the traditional fluffy white ones, although those are also very cute. My personal favourite sheep breed of all time is North Ronaldsay. They are from the Orkney island of the same name, and they’re so interesting. They actually eat seaweed, they live on the beach most of the year.
My second favourite are probably Herdwicks, a breed from the Lake District that are just so lovely looking
Their lambs are black and they go grey when they’re adults
my third favourites are Valais Blacknose because they’re just so cute.
And there are loads of other sheep breeds I love too, that’s just a top three.
secondly, sheep have contributed loads to human history. I read a fantastic book about it, but they’ve been there forever and they’ve been almost everywhere. They’ve basically shaped human history and it’s so interesting. And at the same time we’ve shaped them, humans domesticating sheep and breeding them has made them change and evolve in really interesting ways. It’s because of domestication that sheep need to be sheared, for example.
so yeah. Sheep are great
