Fat Tails

sheep long tail

We have all heard of Little Bo Peep which lines end with the sheep coming home dragging their tails behind them.  Some have thought Miss Bo Peep must have been a shepherd of Karakul sheep since their tails can get so heavy that they actually drag on the ground.  One unique characteristic that Karakuls have is that they store fat in their tails.  They have broad flat tails that are very distinct from most other breeds of sheep.

Here are some behinds that show off this unique trait:

New Arrivals Part Two

White wether

Rabbit and his impressive curly horns

 

This is Rabbit.  I loved him instantly.  He was my first pick.  He looks right into your eyes.  When I lean over he gives me a little kiss.  I am a lucky girl to have so many charming sheep around!

Ok here is another new friend I adore.  This is JuneBug.  He is so sweet and will follow you around for attention and scratches.  JuneBug is a complete LoveBug!
