Here are a couple pics of our flock of sheep that arrived today. These are the traditional "Jacob Sheep" supposedly decended from the same sheep that Jacob of the bible raised. Genetically they are unaltered for thousands of years. How much more traditional can you get than that!
In the background you can see "peep" the last of our modern sheep. Note the differences in body size, shape, etc.
These guys seem to be adjusting well, today we can walk much closer to them without scaring them. In another day or two we will try our hand at milking the two Ewes. If it works out, we will have enough fresh milk for our needs and perhaps next year we can have some to sell also (within the legal limits of this heavily controlled substance --- raw milk)
