Bir insan için mutluluğun en saf hali. yalnızca merhametle verilen sevgidir. gerisi tamamen dünyevi bir ziyan..

An innocent love..

Hum... i have a problem with my zodiac combination ;-;-; I’m an Aries and a Sheep .... I’m confused... does this means I’m a fluffy ram ? ;-;

What’s stopping you from being a Swiss Valais Blacknose?? Like a hortobágy Racka Sheep, so you’re super fluffy with HUGE HORNS

The Swiss Valais Blacknose have been rubbing themselves against the red feeder while eating and it managed to dye their wool pink.

Valais Blacknose Sheep

Valais Blacknose sheep were given the title of the cutest sheep in the world, and with strikingly dark patches of fur combined with their soft, white, curly wool give them an adorable look. Moreover, they are incredibly docile. What’s not to like? The rams, as well as the ewes, both have curly horns. Like all other sheep, they are excellent climbers and can be found in the Swiss alpine mountains in the summertime.

Okay so basically I had the idea of a weekly visit villager that sells you clothes based on the season! They’re a Swiss valais blacknose who overproduces wool, and then uses that wool to make clothes for winter and summer

Royal Highland Show, Edinburgh, Scotland (June 2019)

For Americans: This was a lot like a state fair. Agricultural producers from all over Scotland came to show off their animals and to trade insights on what works and what doesn’t, and then there were trade booths trying to sell things both to the ag people and to the naive visitors. Less emphasis on crop production and more emphasis on show jumping, so I had a fabulous time--once I got there.

Only the day before I’d gotten back from a visit to the States, which in turn only lasted a week, so I was still spectacularly jet-lagged. Then I compounded the problem by deciding to bike out to the fairgrounds--which I had never been to and which weren’t meant for biking--and asked every gate employee in sight where the bike rack was.

Still, the weather was lovely and the animals adorable. Breed identifications as I remember them:

1 & 2. Highland Cows, the symbol of the show and affectionately known as hairy coo’s. Compared to meat breeds they require less grass and produce high quality, lean beef; they are also decent (if not competitive) milkers and very friendly--something I can personally confirm!

3. A Jacob sheep showing off the famous horns. They’re one of the few breeds of multi-horned sheep, almost always with 4, sometimes with more, and also one of the few to be piebald!

4 & 5. Clydesdales. Americans may know them from the Budweiser commercials. Clydesdales are a native Scottish draft horse, very large (6 feet at the shoulder or higher), and very friendly--except for one mare, who insisted on hanging her head out of her stall and trying to bite passersby.

6. I’m not 100% but pretty sure this is a Southdown sheep, bred for meat. I took a picture because of the unusual wool distribution across the face.

7. Border Leicester, they of the massive and expressive (and delightful!) ears.

8 & 9. Anyone’s guess really, I just liked the horns.

10. Valais Blacknose. A very rare, very cute Swiss dual purpose breed with astonishingly soft wool (and minimal interest in being petted over). But beware if you fall in love: They are not cheap, auctioning in the UK for upwards of £1500 for lambs and practically nonexistent in the US. Good luck.
