Relaxed FarmingHow to look after us... (as answered by Gorge). Yes I am the pretty one but I don't show off about it... We really are not that difficult to look after. We don't make too many demands and we are NOWHERE near as daft as sheep...)

  • We hate the rain: the most important thing about us is that we HATE THE RAIN and we need a shelter to escape into at the first sign of the wet stuff.

    Our coats are not that thick and our fur does not have oily lanolin in it like sheep which helps to stop the rain really soaking into the skin. If it rains we can get very wet and very cold, a bit like you being out in just your t-shirt and shorts in the middle of a torrential rainstorm!!
