Introducing Alice

We have finally decided on names for our new sheep.  As such, I am proud to introduce you to our ewe, Alice.


Alice is a three year old Shetland sheep.  She enjoys whole corn kernels, fresh clover and long, cool drinks of water.  She also likes to munch on little toddler fingers so watch where you put those hands!

She has beautiful brown and tan fleece but recently got sheared for the summer so she's looking a little patchy.

Alice likes to graze in the field for most of the day interspersed with little cat (sheep?) naps in the shade.  She has excellent vocal cords and can project a enthusiastic "BAHHHH!" in a lovely tenor voice.

Her favourite treat is potato peels which she gobbles up with great zeal. She is interested in photography - though likely more in chewing the camera than taking the photos.


Alice is an attentive mother and over all a very lovely sheep.  We are very lucky to have her.
