Tucked away in a corner of Byrkley Garden Centre near Burton on Trent, Staffordshire, were these hungry fellows; noses down, snuffling up a bucketful of pellets which had just been tossed onto the floor of their sty. Mum's certainly got her work cut out with that lot!
In the field next door were a couple of sheep in mid moult! I love their curly coats!
I'm no expert on sheep breeds, but I've searched through my sheep breeds identification guide and I think that the chappie below may be a Soay. As for the two above..??
Wow that's a lot of kids to feed, lol !
ReplyDeleteThe sheeps need badly a hairdresser !
The sheep give a whole other meaning to the whole over-done shabby chic trend! Love it!
ReplyDeleteHi H!
ReplyDeleteAre all those piglets from one sow? Wow! The shabby coated sheep are so unusual.
Have a wonderful week!
Oh, I seem to have missed so many of your posts lately - just been catching up. Nantwich looks a treat for the photographer. As to the sheep, I wonder why they don't get sheared? - what a waste of wool!
ReplyDeleteSuch good pictures as always, H! I've missed a few having been away for a bit and just generally swamped with all my 'tasks' at home. Everything seems more difficult in the winter months.
ReplyDeleteOh those moulting sheep look like they're dressed in rags! And the piglets are all so clean! Is there that many piglets from one sow?
ReplyDeleteWell, is that really where bacon and mutton come from?
ReplyDeleteWe used to have sheep-- couldn't tell you what breed, but we had them shorn in the spring. I didn't know sheep molted.
