Sometimes lambs are raised on a bottle for some reason and then some become pets. But most are out in the paddocks in big mobs.

Never been that close to a sheep yet. I have seen them from afar but not that close. I see them as very gentle animal indeed since I do not see them bully other animals.

@JudyEv I see rams are the ones with horns, right?

@rsa101 No, rams don't always have horns. It depends on the breed. Some ewes (females) have horns too. Rams are uncastrated males.

Mostly they are gentle although the rams can be aggressive.

@changjiangzhibin89 It's okay. My mother always said that her father said to her when she was upset about losing an animal 'Stock owners must be stock losers' and I try to remember that. We outlive most of our pets.

Oscar became ill and we had to have him put down. He was old and had had a good life up to that point.

Maybe, if she kissed him, he would turn into a handsome prince.

@JudyEv That is a thought but it looked like she did not want to get any closer than she did, but, maybe I a wrong on that.

I knew somebody who had sheep including one who was bottle fed when he was a baby, but as he grew up he was like that. He had to go to a farm because he became a roughneck.
