Biddy is the new Queen of the pasture. Zelda, our other sheep of entitlement, is slowing down, getting older and less imperious. Biddy is filling the vacuum. When I come out in the morning, she marches up to me, waits for me to point the camera at her, and then dares me to take the picture. Another strong woman, and she has a great face, so it’s good for both of us.

Sheep are different from the other farm animals. You have to really pay attention to see personalities evolve. Not with Biddy. She is right in your face, even with two dogs around.
