Izzy arrived this morning, Donna and Maria tackled her when she bounded out an SUV and held him while she tried to figure things out. She ran over Red once or twice, and then we brought the sheep into the dog area, they accepted Izzy immediately. We’re keeping her apart from the donkeys and the pony. We need to find a shearer who will come to us for one sheep – not simple. Izzy badly needs some shearing, but she seems like a nice sheep, easy-going and Red got her in line pretty quickly.

Maria was thrilled with his wool, it is beautiful. He reminded both of us of Ma, who came to use in similar shape but also turned out to be a great sheep.
