It was equally cool this time as well. If I see it again, I must ask Ali to check out who owns it and what that owner would want for it. For that is ONE COOL SHEEP. :-) @Pat: Goats don't really require that much maintenance as long as there is someone to feed them every day. An option in the city is to send out your goats & sheep with the local shepherd, who takes a flock of animals out to the pastures every day for a smaller fee. The reason we don't however is that our goats are happy where they are, and we're not too fond of all those ticks... Besides, Anette might find herself in a situation where she wouldn't know who fathered her little goat kid and then we'd have no use for Amadeus any more... :-) @Anette: I saw the sheep again.

I think they decided that they are gone so often from their home in Tibiri that they wouldn't be able to be good goat owners. They travel often between Maradi and Niamey for Peace Corps training, a 10.5 hour bus ride and sometimes are gone for a week or more at a time. Now they are gone for three weeks in Greece.

I wonder, knowing so little about sheep, are these milk-giving sheep? how about those that you own, any milk from them? :) that sheep IS very cute! she’s got truly amazing colors, lovely mix of shades.
