Sheep Portraits

/

I needed to find some photos for a special request. You’d think that with over 4300 sheep photos (according to Lightroom) I wouldn’t have to take more. But I did. I’ll share some. Most are in the Sheep Portrait category.

Meridian Hazel, one of our very friendly sheep. She will be three when she lambs in the spring.

Meridian Raquel is our second oldest ewe. She will be 10 in the spring. Her upper right horn was damaged and grew down over her face. For years it was right in front of her eye but it broke a few years ago and now she has full vision.

The sheep are still spending a lot of time in the pasture, but they come in as a group to relax. After an hour or so they will get up and go back out.
