I love to see sheep since I've taken on spinning wool as a hobby. To feel that wool in your hands as yet unwashed...is wonderful to me. The lanolin feels so good. I read that in some cold climate...Norway perhaps? they used to knit their fisherman wool sweaters out of unwashed wool to keep the wool waterproof. Makes sense really.
We have sheep and calf's that live at ASU not far from us.
I think I would be stopping by to pet those cows if I could! :-)
ReplyDeleteWho does the milking?
ReplyDeleteI didn't see any milk cows yet.
ReplyDeleteWell that's fun to visit huh?
ReplyDeleteInteresting, I am only used to seeing sheep on bright green grass and pastures.
