"I get a title, hurray!" @Kacy: :-) @Lisa: I don't know what kind of breed they, probably just Sahelian Sheep. All sheep in Niger have straight fur though. Vet on the Edge (in Alaska) gave a good tip in telling the difference in Africa between sheep and goats, where the two look very much alike: Sheep wear their tails down, goats wear their tails up. How neat is that? As for them turning out to face me, they only do that when I have "an impressive" dog by my side. They used to turn around to follow Aslan's mother (a shepherd) until she gave them clear directions (which they then followed). Unlike goats, sheep never attack to protect themselves, so I don't know how good their survival instincts are... :-) Sheba certainly has grown a lot lately, we are just waiting for her head to catch up!!! :-) @Hanna: Glad you enjoyed it! @Kari: You'll be the first to know, but she is still just a baby, lol! @FG: :-) @Goatgirl: Aren't they cute? The plan is to add a pair to the Ark someday, but I'm looking for an all-black sheep (to be named Goliat), but we're still looking... @Pat: Lol! @Julia: Thanks! @O: Glad you liked it!

@Fe: Lol! “I get a title, hurray!”

When I saw sheep were being posted about on your blog I just had to come on over to visit. What odd sheep they are! What breed are they? They look more like goats actually. They remind me of Boer Goats. And I'm shocked at how bold they are. Most sheep here will run away rather than face humans, unless you have food. And funny seing your 'very dangerous' Rhodesion Ridgeback look rather afraid of those critters. lol! But then she got it all figured out and then realized what to do. Fun! My has she grown a lot or what? ~Lisa New Mexico, USA What terrific photos! When I saw sheep were being posted about on your blog I just had to come on over to visit.
