For today’s issue, we have… Leo and Lucy, these two wooly lovelies are treasured sheep, and they live at Fat Turkey Farm.
Thank you so much to Fat Turkey Farm for sharing her fleecy friends with us this week.
Leo The Sheep
Leo’s start to life was challenging being one of three and the smallest. I’ve heard of Ewes rejecting their young. Every time I read a story like that I’m so moved.
After many tries to get Leo’s mother to accept him, the decision was made to take Leo into the house and cared for him.
As she said: “He spent most of the first 24 hours laying on my chest, covered in a blanket. He was so dang tiny!”
Leo grew up thinking he was human/dog, then a horse, and fell in love with a cow! What a wonderful character Leo is!
Lucy The Sheep
Lucy, now 15 years old, has taken on the role of matron.
She’s excellent at teaching the LGDs (Livestock Guardian Dogs) how to behave and shows them what’s what (a little nip) when she’s displeased with them.
Mother to many lambs and giver of beautiful fleece over her long years.
A treasured member of the Fat Turkey Farm to be sure and one who’s being well cared for and loved in her old age.
