#suffolk sheep

[nolanfa-clayworks]

Suffolk sheep! Not planning (for now) on glazing it (...maybe the small ones... minecraft-sheep-like... if I get transparent coloured glazes... but I don't have them for now). Sheep second to last and last are actually almost the same size, but second to last took about four times as long to do (better feet and wool)

This was the breed my family had. I raised a lamb for "4H" the year we had 3 sets of female twin lambs.

suffolk sophian | ram jamian | merino rowanian

suffolk sophian: a sophian who prefers cuddles, kisses, etc. over sex

merino jamian: a jamian who prefers cuddles, kisses, etc. over sex

sheep rowanian: a rowanian who prefers cuddles, kisses, etc. over sex

[pt: suffolk sophian: a sophian who prefers cuddles, kisses, etc. over sex

merino jamian: a jamian who prefers cuddles, kisses, etc. over sex

sheep rowanian: a rowanian who prefers cuddles, kisses, etc. over sex. end pt]

sophian, jamian, and rowanian equivalents to bambi lesbian! anon asked for the sophian and rowanian terms and i figured i'd also do jamian. they suggested sheep rowanian, so i used suffolk and merino, two very common types of sheep, for sophian and jamian.

Photos taken in this set are of: 1. One of a few Common Sandpipers I relished seeing today, with Green Sandpiper seen well too, some of my greatest ever views of the rustic and cheery Common Sandpiper. 2, 4, 8 and 9. Beautiful views, it really is such a vast, precious and wild mixture of habitats; endless reedbeds, glistening scrape, sea, rich woodland, grassland, views of heath and strong vistas all around. It was so invigorating to be out here so long today to begin the weekdays of my week off, the relaxing that weeks off are all about for me. 3. A Small Copper I really enjoyed seeing at the visitor centre. 5. Some glorious sheep's bit which I was thrilled to find at the coast. 6. Grey Squirrel at the visitor centre at the end. 7. A sumptuous Shelduck, seeing these as well as the key bird for this site Avocet crucial to its founding as the RSPB's first reserve what a key moment in nature conservation when it was founded in (the latter especially) great numbers was really heartfelt and calming today two very important species for my interest being some of the first birds I saw at Titchfield Haven as I was just getting into birdwatching as a kid. 10. One of a few great trees observed today in the sunlight that is turning seasonally yellow.

Also standing out of the so much seen here today was the key moment with the main bird we wanted to try and see here with phenomenal flying views of my first Bittern of the year. It is so sweet and satisfying that this idea paid off to allow us to see this quintessential reedbed, enigmatic and awesome species for another year which I feel so lucky to have. Other highlights were Great White and Little Egret, Marsh Harrier and Little Stint which I was pleased to spot. Common Scoters flying over the sea, finely coloured Wigeon, Teal, Shoveler, Black-tailed Godwits, another Ruff of late and great Snipe views were good to see too. Comma, Emerald Damselfly, Southern and Migrant Hawker and Common Darter were other insect highlights. Other highlights were Cormorant, Common Tern, Stonechat, Blue Tit, Red Deers, Muntjac, amazing Water Vole views at the pond at the end in the evening sun what a year I've had for this mammal, Rabbit, Grass snake possibly the first I've ever seen near the Water Vole, cricket, spider, restharrow, my first ever marsh mallow, red campion and tansy with Cetti’s Warbler heard. Ox tongue, water mint, scarlet pimpernel, stork's-bill, gorse, broom, honeysuckle, bramble flower, hawthorn, plums, chestnuts and a few mushrooms were nice to see too. At the hotel we stayed in last night holly, ivy, rose hips and Common Darter were nice to see especially in the sun as well as wasp. Red-legged Partridge in Norfolk on a hay bale and Buzzards in the air were good birds I saw on the journey yesterday with snails enjoyed at home tonight. A decade on from our two previous visits, I cherished amazing time at Minsmere today with an extraordinary list of things seen combining a bit of everything I love seeing and photographing it seems and with an extraordinary list of sightings for birds and mammals especially with many things I'd not often or ever seen on the same day before. What a marvelous nature reserve.

It’s up to Zephyr Town’s newest resident to turn its fortunes around! Players will raise animals, harvest crops, craft rare delicacies, then sell wares at their very own stall in the bazaar. As the bazaar business grows, new goods and services will arrive, which players can use to improve their farm. Help return prosperity to the bazaar, settle down for a cozy life and start a family, and Zephyr Town is sure to thrive once again!

Inspired by the classic handheld title, the new STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar builds up and improves on the original in every conceivable way. The world is bigger and more alive than ever thanks to incredible new visuals, new characters, an expanded story, and full character voice work in story events—a series first. Take advantage of Zephyr Town’s unique weather, using the wind to make travel and farm tasks a breeze! The winds of change are coming to deliver a new life in STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar.

Key Features

Cozy Living Reaches New Heights: The magnificent beauty of Zephyr Town shines with gorgeous graphics while a richly voiced story carries the player on a rewarding journey of farming, friendship, and renewal.

Ring the Bell and Sell, Sell, Sell: Farm produce and goods take on additional importance as the heart of players’ business at the lively weekly bazaar. Players can customize their stall and take charge of their sales to build up buzz and power up profits.

Take the Leap and Ride the Winds: Harness the power of the wind! Use windmills to create new products to sell, and effortlessly travel across the town on the brand-new glider. Players can use the new jumping skills on their farm or when exploring the town to access new locations. Who knows what they might find!

A Beautifully Cozy Life: Enjoy a rich life amongst a colorful community of characters, from friendly townsfolk to magical Nature Sprites. Build yourself a home, grow relationships, and even find love and start a family.

I made some small clay sheep. (those are supposed to be specifically Suffolk Sheep)

And. I might as well show them here.

[hyydraworks]

These sheeps will be in April 4th Etsy update! There will be mostly all white friends and only a couple of the black Suffolk-like sheepies, but I wasn’t sure how I’d like them and I super love them, so will be making more for the future.

Name: Sheep

Debut: Super Mario Odyssey

Wow! Sheep, from Super Mario Odyssey! Sheep are such an extremely iconic animal, it's hard to believe they were invented by this game in 2017! The success of Super Mario Odyssey has gaslit us into believing that sheep were even one of the very first animals to be domesticated by humans. That just shows the massive impact Super Mario has on society!

Sheep in Mario's world weren't domesticated by humans, they were domesticated by skeletons! They are first seen in Tostarena, under the ownership of a Tostarenan farmer, and every last one of them wears a sombrero. These sheep are tired of their wool being used to make clothing for other entities. They decided THEY could wear something stylish yet practical, too! And they did it. Now they can graze in the desert without having to worry about sun in their faces! I don't know what they are grazing on, but they can do it safely, so don't worry about it!

Or ARE they wearing sombreros? They wear them regardless of region, and no matter how much the sheep get knocked around, their hats remain firmly affixed! Maybe... they are not hats at all! Perhaps these sheep have been selectively bred for bizarre horn shapes, resulting in a sombrero-shaped mass of keratin that naturally shields their eyes from the sun! Which is then decorated to look nice.

I don't mean to be rude to any fake pretend people in this fake pretend world in this videos game, but I don't think any of them are very good sheep owners. Every single sheep owner in this game, no matter the kingdom, has lost all of their sheep and needs Mario's help to herd them back! You would think sheep owners would be better at that, but I guess not. Maybe it's because they keep their sheep in shallow depressions in the ground with no fence to speak of. I personally would not do that.

These sheep seem to be based on the Suffolk breed, which is the most generic cartoon looking sheep there is, pretty much! I think there is such a charm in a real animal looking like the generic cartoon image. If you are in the northern hemisphere, it is currently Sheep Shearing Season! If you are able, I recommend going to see some shearing happen! It's funny. They get sat down on their butt like a person. Hee hee!

Sheep things

to help with writing and drawing if you so choose

Sheep's wool transitions to hair on their legs. Where exactly this transition happens depends on breed and genetics. Breeds that are all white will have white/cream hair, while breeds like the Suffolk and the Hampshire will typically have white wool and dark legs (brown or black).

Sheep get playful and bounce around. It can kinda look like a pogo stick on four legs. Absolutely look up lambs playing on YouTube they're the cutest little suckers. If you've ever seen deer bound, it's kinda similar.

Some of my sheep really liked their ears rubbed and/or the tops of their heads. Although I also has one who thought shiny things were just the best and chewed on my belts and ribbons and tried to snatch someone's keys so each sheep is a little different.

Sheep have this wax called lanolin that is what helps their wool repel water and keep their skin clean. It also helps protect any wounds to the skin. It used to be in a lot of hand creams and certain brands still due but it's a pretty big allergen so it's pretty uncommon these days. Works wonderfully though.

Shearing is a good thing. It can actually be more harmful to a sheep to go without shearing for more than a year or so (this is partly due to human interference with breeding, they've been domesticated and selectively breed for too many hundreds of years). Wool breeds are more like every 6 months. Most people try to do it soon after the last frost. Early to mid spring so that wool has more time to come in for the winter months. In my area we have this weed called foxtail, that burrows through hair and wool and will bury itself into the skin of animals and can cause infections. For us, shearing is vital to our animal's health.

Terms for sheep.

Less than a year old: Lamb

Year Olds are sometimes called yearlings

Over a year: Sheep

A Ewe is a female sheep, a Ram is a male sheep, and a Wether is a castrated male sheep.

Common terms/phrases: Ewe Lamb, Ram Lamb, Wether Lamb

Sheep actually have long wooly tails (think labrador tail length but not as maneuverable. It hangs between the legs), but they are often docked when they are young to help with health. Fecal matter and urine gets on the tail and can increase health risks for things like infections.

I'm most familiar with the Hampshire-Suffolk crossbreed. They were bred for human consumption. Different breeds have different characteristics, different behaviors, different tendencies.

Feel free to hit me up if you happen to have any sheep questions. I have a decent amount of knowledge and I'm happy to share.

Anywho. Hope this helps! Happy culting!!
