To some people hair sheep might look like goats.

I'm sometimes surprised to find how many different varieties of certain vegetables there are. Often these look a lot different from what I'm used to. You can get the same variety in different breeds of animals.

Lol, some hair sheep really do look too goat-like.

I like my sheep to remind me of giant cotton balls or clouds. I get a little sad on shearing day, so naked, thin and generally sad looking...haha.

Nah.

Sheep wouldn't be my first choice for a pet. While DD has to take Garbanzo and Waffles the dogs to the groomer and I sometime enjoy the experience of picking them up, I never had a dog that required special grooming.

The fact that shearing now costs more than the wool for nearly all sheep is a little sad. What does it cost to have a sheep sheared? Sure seems like it would discourage their popularity while their ease of keeping and other qualities should encourage it.

who can even imagine milking a ewe - cheese!
