My dad knows a guy ... he's got some sheep. Well, he had about 700, then they all bear twins so now it's more like 1200 or something like that. The numbers are fuzzy. The lambs are fuzzy too. While we were in England (yeah, the trip was practically a month ago) we got to visit a sheep and cattle farm. We had a blast! The kids especially loved hand feeding a few baby lambs - normally the mama takes care of the babies but sometimes you get a bad mom, or something happens to her, so they hand feed. Apparently sometimes they can convince a different mama to "adopt" a baby or two. We also got a see a one day old calf. We also got to ask a lot of questions about their care and the operation of a sheep farm. Career #next?
