I shall tell my dear brother-in-law that even if I don't appreciate them, I know someone who does!!<br />As for the .....the cattle - I told y'all - no more specifics! - we're waiting for another calf this week.

I really enjoyed this post and wanted to let you know that your sheep are magnificent looking. None of the sheep that we have here look anything like that. Ok, well, maybe they are not so magnificent looking after the shearing. Haha! I have to agree with the ladies here. Those earrings just gave the cows sex away. Too funny!

That's what ...They're Blackface sheep/rams. That's what is most common up here in the Highlands and Islands because they're really hardy, and were about the only 'make'....oh, 'breed' it's called (sorry!) .... that would survive the harsh climate.<br />Nowadays, some are taking other breeds to the island - they're so molly-coddled now....fed over the winter, maternity wards during spring etc etc. I have to say, though - although sheep aren't my favourite animal - the Blackface is my favourite sheep.Homeschool on the Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400742529025230433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-32259707718234004972010-06-06T06:15:11.125+01:002010-06-06T06:15:11.125+01:00Anne you make me laugh.

Hmmmmm, yep, I grew up in the city. After all, have you ever seen a bull in a child's picture book? Nope. They are all cows! Actually, some on the story books I grew up with were far from accurate. Some udders had more than 4 teats! I always thought they came in multiples two.
