Feeling Sheepish Within the City Limits
Too shy really to get a picture out of the shade. This is one of the sheep at a friend's house - within Boise City limits. Sheep are unusual in town, it's much more likely that people graze horses and cows on their "ranchettes."
Well at least its an attractive sheep.
ReplyDeleteGosh, I just realized that I have never petted a sheep in my mumble-mumble years. The Philippines is really too hot for sheep — I've seen a few and they looked pathetic. I like this one's black face and feet.
ReplyDeleteDiva, what's the difference between a ranchette and a farmette?
ReplyDeleteHey Wayne - probably real estate marketing appeal would be my guess. Ranch is a word that plays more into the Wild West theme that people pretend they live.
ReplyDeleteI like the term ‘ranchette’. We call them ‘hobby farmers’ here in Tasmania. There have been a number of awful cases of neglect where they’ve just gone on holiday overseas and left animals to fend for themselves.
