Sheep!

We're going to see a man about some sheep tomorrow.
They're Jacob sheep. Once upon a time, we considered getting sheep. And then we didn't. And then we did. And then we didn't. And now we do! This one's name is Smiley:
I like that they are a heritage breed. Heritage animals are animals who have not been selectively bred by humans and changed much. The heritage animals today are the same as a few hundred years ago, supposedly. We already have heritage turkeys and heritage chickens. It seems like a good idea to go heritage with the sheep, as well (or as wool). Like Noah, we collect the old animals to save them for future generations. We're all noble and stuff like that.

    I think the chickens are not quite that old (maybe the 1870s are still old perhaps). Anyhow they're still a bit more unique than the norm these days.

    You know, you should get a milk cow or two. Then you could have posts titled: "Dairy Diary of Mindless Minion Number 2,703"! {8•)

    That would be a good blog entry, yes. Just think what my life would be like if I only did things that made good puns on my blog! Oh, my!
