I have a huge herd of four sheep, plus one very "confident" momma goat. These creatures are for the enjoyment of my pumpkin patch kids; for 31 days each October they are appreciated, loved and overfed. During the other eleven months they live a happily neglected life IN the pasture pretending to be little cows. They are not welcome in our yard. They are to act as if they are beef cows with no interest in lounging about on the front porch nor grazing on withering plants in long abandoned flowerbeds. In a cooler life our dogs enjoyed putting them in their place and letting them know just who was boss of the yard. Well, you see it is currently very hot here in Oklahoma, (50+ days over 100 degrees with only three drops of rain) and the big, bad dogs don't care one iota if the sheep and big momma eat every leaf left on our beleaguered flowers, shrubs or in our little garden. So, today there are four sheep, one bossy goat and three lazy dogs for sale or for borrowing....but they'll need to be back home on Oct 1st. Thank You.
Sincerely,
One Cranky Sheep Herder
