New Zealand Sheep Part one

New Zealand has often had more Sheep than people. There are different types of sheep. One that is popular here is the Merino for it’s wool.

Lamb though has been on the table not just for NZ but it is sold world wide.

My sister Felicity & her husband has up to 3 or 4 sheep, ewes often bearing lambs every year in Te Kauwhata. Her sheep are self shedding sheep so shearing is not necessary but every lamb is treated kindly with much love from their owners.

Wiltshire Sheep on Felicity & Johns place, Te Kauwhata

These are ewes and they are friendly.

Sheep in Cornwall Park, Auckland

Cornwall Park is run like a farm for beef cattle and sheep. It is a park but run as any other country farm. It is a farm inside the city of Auckland.

  Thanks so much Vidocka, pity I don’t know how to contribute the sound of the Tui song. That would make an interesting response from people. It is a beautiful songster

I love sheep. And this time of year when the lambs are being born, I think they are so cute!

  We had our springtime last September, but I always love seeing the lambs. I put this post on because Perfectfeeds posted a picture of sheep on a hill in Pakistan. I was surprised it looked much like NZ.
