We passed this flock of sheep in a field near the village of Orvelte. Their long and woolly tails are typical for the 'Schoonebeeker heideschaap' or 'Schoonebeek Heath Sheep', a Dutch domestic breed. They are strong though gentle, often mottled and with black spots on the head.
Howdy!
I'm linking to Saturday's Critters.
...these sheep sure are more interesting than the ones we have here.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAltijd leuk die schapen.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI houd van schapen, ze poseren altijd zo gewillig!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThey are so lovely.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHello, they are pretty sheep. I like the spotted faces. Great photos. Thanks so much for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your day and weekend!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI just want to stroke their fur.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI like them. And noticed the mottled stuff on their legs, too. I've never had much to do with sheep but they seem rather placid and, if not friendly, certainly not hostile.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWhat a nice and funny muzzle!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThey look like characters. I've not heard of that breed here.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSheep are always fun to see. My wife uses their wool to make hats, scarfs, shawls, you name it, she makes it. :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenVery beautiful photos! I love sheeps :)
