Its age is 46. There are no sheep-in-the-wild except for mountain sheep which do not grow wool like domestic sheep. Now, just a minute. Let me back-track.....we one time had some "renegade sheep" that were lost and wool blind and who came to our pastures and lived with our sheep for a short while. But they were naughty -- always going through fences and running wild. And tho they were domestic, they were quite in-the-wild. But....they were meant to be sheared and domesticated.<BR/><BR/>Does that help?<BR/>JodyGumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-69470632145295851002009-02-24T19:32:00.000-07:002009-02-24T19:32:00.000-07:00Well, for one thing, you certainly have a YOUNG lo...Well, for one thing, you certainly have a YOUNG looking hand -- and so cute with the baby on top of it! I love your animal pictures. What do sheep in the wild (is there such a thing?) do to be able to see??? Inquiring minds want to know LOL!Thimbleannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650582809426872051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-67082966551927403732009-02-23T22:17:00.000-07:002009-02-23T22:17:00.000-07:00Jaimi,Thank you for letting us keep her.

Our ranch was originally a sheep ranch. Back when I came here, we had around 1000 head.<BR/><BR/>Clarice,<BR/>The wool will be taken to the local wool warehouse where it will be sold to woolen mills.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments!<BR/>JodyGumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-14074571976207363542009-02-23T18:59:00.000-07:002009-02-23T18:59:00.000-07:00Oh the sheep look so interesting sheared!
