Maria calls Susie our “great sheep.” Before that, we called her “The Good Mother.” She is pretty amazing, for a ewe. She is gentle, curious, affectionate. He coat is always clean. Her son – Liam – just slid out of her one morning with no fuss, she took wonderful care of him. Her wool is especially beautiful, and she loves to pose for photos. She does what Red suggests with no complaint. She is no headstrong like Zelda, or rebellious, as Liam is. She is just a great sheep.
