Izzy is the newest member of the Bedlam Farm family, she is a three-year old Romney, a good wool sheep, she badly needed a home, and she badly needs shearing. I’m on the phone tracking some shearers down, there’s a good chance of finding one by the end of the week.

Izzy is a grounded sheep, she’s a bit anxious around us, but not terrified, she reminds me of Ma, our sweet dumb sheep who died a year or so ago. Izzy has character, she likes to look people in the eye. Chloe chased her off for a few hours, then got used to her. I can hardly bear to see sheep in the summer with so much wool hanging off their bodies, it makes me uneasy. We’ll take care of her. Izzy has attached to Zelda, the two are already inseparable.
